Ox are just mature (over 1 year) castrated bulls. Castrating them makes them more docile. Many times you would poll them so that they don't goad, or even trim the horn back to remove the points. But the male is typically the larger of the two sexes. Typically, you eat the Steers (they are a pain and too rambunctious), bred the Heifers, and created Oxen to work. Of course you kept the best Bull (probly culling every 3 years), and used them for breeding to keep the herd strong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
