Oxen Basics: What is an Ox?

Farmers and oxen have worked on and near fields for thousands of years. Oxen were so valued and esteemed that they've included in legends, music, artwork, and even in the Ten Commandments - TWICE.
In many parts of the world, oxen are still the only source of power on a farm as tractors are too expensive to buy and maintain for millions of small-scale farmers. Tillers International specializes in collaborating with these farmers to create more efficient tools that lead to increased productivity and more humane treatment of the oxen themselves.
