With firm commands, Don Hoff and Karen Butler guided the Carroll County Farm Museum's team of oxen around the yard Tuesday as the two beasts of burden pulled a large tire behind them.

Jack and Jim, a pair of 3-year-old Devon oxen, were donated by the museum's Hoff Barn Committee. The team, with the guidance of drivers, will demonstrate what farm life was like in the 1790s, according to Bob Shirley, education chair for the Hoff Barn Committee.
