Oxen preferred for hard wood land work says pioneer
Stephen A. Randolph, 87, Baron township pioneer, argues that oxen remain valuable for clearing and hauling on timbered Minnesota farms. He notes tractors and horses fail on slopes and brush, recommending large, well-matched oxen pairs, kept for grass grazing, as a durable solution amid ongoing land clearing. Randolph, who moved from Indiana in 1855, served in the Civil War and later farmed 46 years in Sharon before retiring in 1912.
