Not everywhere can oxen Ford a river or stream. Only where it is shallow and so safe can they cross the river. Such places, in the ancient times will normally come to be called Oxford. It denotes pastoral life and earlier occupations. Oxen were not to be purchased, they were there for anyone to capture, tame and own. Remember the old cattle trails in Ancient America.
