Oxen is not the name for adult male cattle. The wild ancestor of cattle was the Aurochs, plural Aurochsen. The word Oxen comes from the latter and refers to domsticated cattle regardless of sex. For most of history the word oxen has referred to draught animals, but these were mainly castrated males.
In English the common word for adult male (entire) cattle is bull. If you want to breed cattle, in this era you would probably send off for a stud catalogue and he animals featured will all be referred to as BULLS standing at stud.

the real travesty is non secular leaders attempting to rigidity their ideals violently on others who've their own ideals. This has been accomplished for the duration of heritage via almost each and every non secular group. greater people have died interior the final 2000 years in some God's call than each and every of the casualties of the Civil war, the yankee Revolution, WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam blended, and that variety keeps to advance. i individually sense regardless of if, that what handed off at Jonestown, then Waco, have been the worst issues. people are so desirous to have self assurance in God and saviors that they're going to save on with absolutely everyone who sounds useful and achieveable to them.

Oxen plural of ox,any bovine usually with horns bred for domestic purposes. Male entire cattle are called bulls, castrated males usually called bullocks. (Bulls without their 'ocks!!)
