Cf. {Humid}, {Aurochs}.] (Zo[94]l.) The male of bovine quadrupeds, especially the domestic animal when castrated and grown to its full size, or nearly so. The word is also applied, as a general name, to any species of bovine animals, male and female. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field. --Ps. viii. 7. Note: The castrated male is called a steer until it attains its full growth, and then, an ox; but if castrated somewhat late in life, it is called a stag. The male, not castrated, is called a bull.

The name ox is never applied to the individual cow, or female, of the domestic kind. Oxen may comprehend both the male and the female. {Grunting ox} (Zo[94]l.), the yak. {Indian ox} (Zo[94]l.), the zebu. {Javan ox} (Zo[94]l.), the banteng. {Musk ox}. (Zo[94]l.)
