Haw is the traditional command for a team of horses to turn to the left, Gee is the verbal command to turn to the right. Here we see a portion of the team that consisted of four mules and two horses moving to the left. The young man driving the team added to the momentum as he leaned to the left with the team. Father and son are baling the newly mowed field of alfalfa. The young man was working hard but over his voice you would hear the command of the father ring out. I imagine the animals were more accustomed to his voice. The two horses were easier to control so they were positioned on the ends to assist the turning of the rig.
