My brother brought them to camp and asked what they were. I told him they were for horse work and he didn't believe me. Told him I'd get a few others to confirm. Thanks

if you look at his shoe size
to small for Oxen
even a working dray horse
more mule team size

you can see the hand forging in the flattened steel to the bend
looks like oak weathering

many of there were laid to rest after WW2 and the more and more tractors came on the scene.

I know it will be gorgeous in your area too.

Still have my turkeys ..the babies are pretty large now. They are all over the region. Still use your fine box call to talk to them smile Your flock must be doing well too with growing young.

North50, yes a big Belgian mule team would do it...as well as Suffolks. Most people forget them. They aren't tall but make up for it in low carriage massive width . Among my favourite drafts. Percheron and Shires are the really big ones. See, now you got me started ...

My brother is convinced they are gambrels for skinning livestock. I showed him a bunch online but he is too invested in his belief to be wrong.. I will read him your responses. Lol

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

the heavy horse trade was shut down in Manitoba when the stopped PMU collections.
100's of horses went south then that happened after the deliveries of colts.
fellows that sent their horses there got some well feed animals in the spring after the collection. 1000's of acres of certified organic farm land/hay fields were opened up then the following years.

Work on deer too. For skinning that is, I bet they are hard to break to plow.

Two single trees, with center connector missing on both. Have seen them used for skinning gamble also.
