Domestic Oxen

Camera: Pentax ZX-50
Cows have free reign in India, but I never quite figured out where oxen rank. The oxen were always painted (note the red horns on this guy), but beyond that they didn't seem to get much special treatment. They were usually a lot skinnier than the cows, too, with their hip bones practically poking through the skin.
