What happens when you put a harness on a Belted Galloway steer and drive him like a horse? Bliss. Pure bliss.
Owen, my fluffy yearling Scottish Highland steer, was confused when I first put a harness on him and attached him to a cart. Owen spent two summers working with my summer camp kids here in Loudon, and now he’s the star of the 4H group, the Katama Cowpokes on Martha’s Vineyard, where he’s comfortable with children leading him or sitting on his back. Even so, this cart thing that moved along behind him was new.
This Amazing 16.2-pound Gelding can be yours for A Free Lease. He's sound and bomb-proof on the trail and in the show ring. Snap is 17 years old and ready to go home with you now, with an option to buy.
Just as 2-month-old Owen threw a tantrum, dogs do the same thing. A dog might pull and snap when corrected, but within seconds, he'll get the idea and do what you want if you know Dog-speak, an essentially non-verbal language.
Have you ever seen a Scottish Highland Steer pull a cart? Then check this out.
