This Ox team is loaded with freight coming from Rawlins Wy.: In this black and white image, an old-fashioned, rural scene is depicted featuring a team of six sturdy oxen harnessed together, moving forward as they pull a heavily loaded wooden cart filled with hay along a muddy, uneven dirt path, while a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and rugged work clothes walks beside them, guiding and supervising their progress.

Description

Oxen served as the primary beasts of burden for thousands of years. Prized for their immense pulling power, patience, and ability to survive on rough forage, ox teams pulled heavy freight wagons, broke tough prairie sod, and hauled logs long before the advent of tractors and modern engines.
