Free Event: Teamsters’ Round Table Discussion

Join a group of your local teamsters and drovers (people who drive working horses and/or oxen) on Tuesday, March 31st, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the Marsh River Co-op.

Whether you are an experienced teamster, a farmer or logger new to the ways of draft animals, or just have an interest in learning more about what’s involved with working animals, join us at the table for this lively discussion.  Topics are flexible with the desires of the group in attendance, but may include sharing thoughts on training, equipment, animal health, husbandry practices, varying breeds, etc.  The Co-op will be open to sell snacks and beverages to those attending the discussion.

See you there!
