An ox (plural oxen), also known as a bullock in Australia and India, is a bovine trained as a draft animal. Oxen are commonly castrated adult male cattle; castration makes the animals easier to control. Cows (adult females) or bulls (intact males) may also be used in some areas.
Oxen are used for plowing, for transport (pulling carts, hauling wagons and even riding), for threshing grain by trampling, and for powering machines that grind grain or supply irrigation among other purposes. Oxen may be also used to skid logs in forests, particularly in low-impact, select-cut logging.
Oxen are usually yoked in pairs. Light work such as carting household items on good roads might require just one pair, while for heavier work, further pairs would be added as necessary. A team used for a heavy load over difficult ground might exceed nine or ten pairs.
Oxen are thought to have first been harnessed and put to work around 4000 BC.
Working oxen are taught to respond to the signals of the teamster, bullocky or ox-driver. These signals are given by verbal command and body language, reinforced by a goad, whip or a long pole (which also serves as a measure of length: see rod). In pre-industrial times, most teamsters were known for their loud voices and forthright language.

The experiment of repopulating the Taimyr Peninsula with the musk ox, which began thirty years ago, has enriched Arctic biodiversity. Fifty oxen taken from Alaska and Canada have by now formed a population of several thousand heads, providing population material for other Arctic areas as well. The film crew sets out to search for musk oxen in their new home at the northern tip of the Taimyr Peninsula in order to thoroughly get to know these bison-like animals. While following the trail of the musk ox along the northernmost latitudes of Eurasia, the crew also meets other inhabitants of these areas. The tough nature, constantly testing the limits of human endurance, is home for reindeer, wolves, polar foxes and several bird species.
To celebrate the launch of the https://banksessie.com website the Backstage Bastards video crew shot a new series of Banksessie videos. We visited Curacao. Enjoy the session with OX. Backstage Bastards Banksessie videos are short, raw rap sessions. We shoot artists on a park bench. The original Banksessie bench is located in Amsterdam Reigersbos but over the years we have picked benches in several cities and countries. -- Video credit : Director - @RavandeBV Editor - @RavandeBV https://twitter.com/RavandeBV https://twitter.com/vanschuppen https://twitter.com/B_Bastards https://www.facebook.com/BackstageBastards?ref=hl http://backstagebastards.tumblr.com/ https://twitter.com/Vlaminal http://backstagebastards.com ℗ 2016 Backstage Bastards | Vlaminal Ent l All Rights Reserved. |

You may know me too well
From spending last night in that puddle
Kickin' my heart off in the trow
You tore a pity hole in your sock
You said "I will not join in your game"
Burnin' down whole houses of ice cream vendors
So please let them do whatever they may
For they have had every right
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
You may know me too well
