New Artwork – Ian Rogers – a Yoke of Oxen
Another collective noun – today, a Yoke of Oxen. An ox is a castrated male cow that has been trained for use as a draft animal, generally about 4 years old when they can start being used as field animals. Two oxen hitched to each other make up a yoke.
Hello Ian,
My name is Chip and I’m with the Fluvanna Historical Society in Fluvanna County, VA.
We have just finished our farm history museum and are designing exhibits. One exhibit is about the local blacksmiths and the farm implements they helped construct. We have a very old yoke and would like to use your illustration beside it. If we give you credit may we please use it on a poster? We are a non-profit association of volunteers.
Thanks much.
Sure, no problem. :) Thanks for asking!
