I just know that one of ya'alls going to be insisting oxen are all over the place in America. It's what yoose guys do.

An ox is an adult male bovine trained as a draft animal. They often are
castrated. (Thank you, Wikipedia.)

Given the lack of demand for wagon or plow pulling, it's not surprising
we have few oxen.
