oxen
Castrated draft cattle
Oxen is the plural of ox—castrated male cattle used as draft animals.
The word preserves an old English plural form, like children or men.
Oxen pulled plows and wagons for millennia before mechanized farming: a team of oxen, slow as an ox.
The singular ox can also refer to any bovine generally.
