Until the late medieval era, the ox was preferred to the horse down on the farm.
Powerful and docile, they offered the perfect combination for a farmer but were eventually replaced by horses who were quicker and more agile.
For almost two thousand years, oxen were the primary workers and beasts of burden on a British farm. They disappeared from the rural scene as late as the early 1900s. Here they are pulling a wagon full of wattle hurdles, somewhere on the chalk downlands.
