From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book

By 5000 B.C., Mesopotamian, Turkestan, and Chinese farmers had begun to domesticate various animals, including the ox, camel, horse, and yak. 81:2.12

The long struggle to substitute oxen for men has ultimately led to the liberation of man power for more valuable tasks in society. 81:6.21

Oxen were used for burden bearing in ancient times alongside other domesticated animals that have since disappeared. 66:5.5
