Description and lore
A steady ox leans into a working harness, trading speed for powerful traction. Its broad body belongs to firm routes and careful load handling.
A working harness rests across broad shoulders. Repaired straps and deep wheel ruts show the labor already done.
The trace draws tight as the ox steps forward. Behind it, the waiting load begins to move with slow, steady weight.
