The International Ox Pull, highlight of the Bridgewater, Nova Scotia annual fair, is a hold-over from the pioneer past when oxen cleared the land and tilled the soil. These beasts of burden have lost none of their pulling power, as demonstrated when they drag tons of weight loaded on sleds, with the winner pulling up to six tons.[3]

The film won the

Canadian Film Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 23rd Canadian Film Awards in 1971.[4]
