Oxen

 


An ox, also known as a bullock in Australia and parts of Asia, is a beast of burden - it has always been used to pull and to plow. They are stronger than horses, calmer if well trained, and can also work for longer. By using a wooden frame called a yoke, oxen can be "yoked" together to pull even heavier loads.

Fun Fact: Some American pioneers used oxen to pull their wagons across the country.
