Balabhadra, president of ISCOWP and ISKCON Minister for Cow Protection and Agriculture, is now touring Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Hungary, Germany and England. We have heard briefly from him about Lithuania and Belarus where he is presently. In these locations ox training and ox power are a reality and Balabhadra has been asked to contribute his knowledge and experience for the advancement of these activities, farm development and self-sufficiency.

They know Up, Whoa, Haw and are now working on Gee and doing very well. Sweet disposition. Kaena is 6 months and Balai is 7 months old. Petras has done a good job. When asked to stand they will stand and will keep standing very nicely." reported Balabhadra.
