Moo

A couple of weeks ago our Ox was recruited to be on display at the Estevan Exhibition. That got Russell and I into high gear. He making a Facebook page for Moo our Ox, and me creating information posters that could be hung on his pen. I absolutely love this kind of stuff. This post shares the posters that I made. I made them thinking about the kids that might come to Moo’s pen and have little background in cattle. I did the story telling from Moo’s perspective. I had a sense of permission to be playful and really enjoyed recalling all that we have been through with Moo. Unfortunately many of our early pictures with Moo are on a computer that we can’t get to boot up. We had fun with what we had. So may I present ….the story of Moo Oxen Bayliss.

Moo did great at the exhibition. He was a gentleman. That was excellent given that he weighed 2390 pounds the week before he went to the fair. This past weekend Moo was taken on a trailride commemorating the route of the North West Mounted Police on their trek west. His life is getting a little more exciting than it used to be!
