Volunteer Murray James explains to visitors at the Weald and Downland Museum how they are training two Sussex heifers (not cows as first written) to yoke up and pull a cart like the working oxen did before tractors were widely used. Apparently oxen were more reliable than horses, and easier to feed.
The cow looks like she has heard the lecture several doxen times before!

Ha Ha Ha!
I made a mistake above; they were heifers not cows. Cows were too valuable for milk, and more cows!
