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.

How to force down an ox
A hang-up is a tree that blows over and hangs up in another tree, or a tree that gets lodged in another tree as it is being felled. Hang-ups are dangerous because the top of the hang-up can snap out and fall, widow makers can be dislodged, or wind can blow a hang-up down.
It’s time to hang out with Bhima The Ox again, and watch him give Erika lots of kisses! After hooking up the goats and sheep with tons of leaves (scroll down and watch the HAPPY GOATS & SHEEP video), we spotted Bhima sauntering through the field. We couldn’t resist a quick visit! And it was worth it. SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary is home to more than 200 rescued cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, emus, pigeons, horses, donkeys, burros, dogs, cats and Hannibal the 8-foot ostrich! SASHA’s 1st annual “Humane Fair” takes place this Sunday, August 2. Erika and I will be running the SASHA information table and greeting people as they enter. If you’re in Michigan, or within a reasonable driving distance, please attend this event! Go to http://SASHAFarm.org for more info - https://goo.gl/...
