[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1062096, member: 12607"] Ron, If you want to get into technicalities, they're a 'working steer' until they're 5 years old, then they become an 'ox'. I've known of folks training yokes of Dexter steers - not very big, but still able to do some work around a small farm. Tallest bovine I ever saw was a big old SimmentalXBrownSwiss ox that I had as a patient when I was in vet school back in the '80s - it worked for a FL logging outfit. Bet he was a magnificent creature in prime condition, but looked pretty tough by the time I saw him. [/QUOTE]
