Amanda Ferris (left) of Braintree works to steer her team of Holstein oxen along Main Street in Randolph along with other members of the Hooves and Horns 4-H Club. When the pavement gets uncomfortably hot, the Oxen may become more likely to bolt. The Hooves and Horns were practicing a dry run before their upcoming display in the 4th of July Parade.
