They were used far more than horses on the wagon trains (horses needed too much grass and water). I like the way Feudalism displace oxen from being a noble working beast to something owned by peasants and looked down upon by the horse-mounted nobility. Dumb as an ox. Slow as an ox. etc.EcoRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294159049375690786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459816361712127140.post-64675984329735522172010-07-27T10:44:37.182-04:002010-07-27T10:44:37.182-04:00What a perfect guy to head the oxen team!

I love to visit our historical sites like the one you visited. There is one in Greeley called Centennial Village, perhaps named after Michener's book Centennial. ♥♫Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116154641827479893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459816361712127140.post-9427619658378907022010-07-26T21:39:42.276-04:002010-07-26T21:39:42.276-04:00I've been busy with the Summer heat, thus I ha...I've been busy with the Summer heat, thus I haven't been checking in on you like I usually do, what do I find ... you've running around without your undies and visiting ox ... what am I going to do with you !!!<br /><br />Looks like you had lots of FUN which is what I would always expect and want to hear about ...JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434534658681194289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459816361712127140.post-16443924947550248982010-07-26T21:30:44.845-04:002010-07-26T21:30:44.845-04:00I like these oxen.I like these oxen.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459816361712127140.post-80416669252933768852010-07-26T21:04:34.581-04:002010-07-26T21:04:34.581-04:00This reminds me of my Dad who made a yoke once for...This reminds me of my Dad who made a yoke once for my cousins oxen team.
