I wonder if that has any meaning or implications for Taureans? Probably not, I guess.
Wikipedia says that an ox can be any bovine that's trained as a "draught animal" that is, for hauling stuff. Sound like you friend? An ox could be a water buffalo, eland, buffalo, bison, antelope, or a bos taurean, cow or bull. The typical oxen is a castrated male, but cows and fertile males (bulls) are used in many parts of the world too!
