4 sentences with “oxen”

Early medieval farmers had literally ploughed the soil with light ploughs, usually pulled by oxen or donkeys.

The oxen, tired; the dwarf donkeys, very skinny; the temples from where you can see the sky; dusty ruins and many little kids wrapped in those white tunics, running around with dirty faces.

Someone (we have no way of knowing who) developed a new type of collar for horses and oxen that rested on the animal's shoulders and thus enabled it to pull much heavier loads, allowing the use of heavier ploughs.

Although the culture of systems like MYCIN (diagnostics for infectiologists) or any other Expert System is highly specialised - it is impossible to talk to them about lost oxen - today these programmes advise people on the most diverse matters: from financial investments to the diagnosis of faults in locomotives, human bodies or nuclear power plants. And, of course, there are Expert Systems specialised in developing Expert Systems.
