Earth & Agriculture
No other animal has helped advance agriculture more than the bovine cow and bull. Oxen provide power for plowing, hauling, and other load bearing tasks as an alternative to mechanized industrial farming. They are invaluable for small-scall farming, worldwide rural economies, and essential for sustainable agriculture.
