Colonial farmers relied on oxen for plowing, harrowing, hauling, and field transport, finding them tougher and cheaper than horses. Oxen could subsist on pasture and fodder, thrive on long journeys to kilns, and were driven with simple commands and crude harness as roads and machinery evolved, gradually yielding to horse-drawn farming after 1830.
