MODA GATHERING 2018

Held each year on the weekend after Father's Day at Tillers International in Scotts, MI, MODA's annual Gathering started as a reunion of sorts for one of Tillers Oxen Basics classes, but has grown into a special event where first time visitors are welcomed, drovers and teams can participate in work and friends old and new can enjoy oxen and working cattle.
