Oxen are commonly castrated adult male cattle, because castration inhibits testosterone and aggression, which makes the males docile and safer to work with. Cows (intact females) or bulls (intact males) may also be used in some areas.

An ox is a large cattle animal, typically a castrated male, that has been trained to pull heavy loads and plow fields as a working animal.
