Bully

It was incredible seeing a four-head team of oxen pulling a wagon at New Boston. Gigantic animals. This is the drover, or the bull-driver, or bullier (whatever) beginning to un-hook these guys from the wagon for their rest break. He would walk between them, un-hook the stocks and they would wander off, two-by-two. the first pair went right to their spot for water and food....but the second pair had a mind of their own, and went the opposite way. I figured it was because they had been looking at nothing but bull butt's all day! The bullier went after them in a second, chastising them. I heard him say....You think you're bigger than me, but you're not! You're gonna do what I say!!! So funny..... Then he grabbed the one bull by the nose ring, and suddenly he WAS in charge!
