Preparing an ox for a day’s work in the field

• Give the oxen enough water
• Feed the animals so that it does not eat crops
• Yoke the animals properly
• Hold the animals for a while in the dressing room to allow them to settle and calm down
• Cheek the feet of the animals and ensure that the hooves are sound and if necessary pair them
• Fix a muzzle on their mouth to prevent animals from browsing crops.
• Ensure that the implements e.g. a plough is in proper order by sharpening the share and tightening all loose nuts and bolts.
