A Yoke of Cattle

A Yoke of Cattle is a collective noun phrase that refers to a group of domesticated animals known as cattle, specifically those that are harnessed or joined together using a yoke device. Cattle, commonly referred to as cows or bulls, belong to the Bovidae family and are highly adaptable and valuable livestock that have been used for agricultural purposes for thousands of years. Historically, a yoke served as a means of control and guidance for the cattle, helping humans in various tasks such as plowing fields, pulling carts or wagons, and transporting heavy loads. The term yoke of cattle describes the collaborative nature and physical arrangement of these animals in the context of their work. It conjures a vivid image of a unified team as the cattle walk side by side, typically with the yoke fastened across their shoulders or necks, displaying their strength and harmonious coordination. Consequently, an overarching sense of purpose, cooperation, and shared effort is associated with a yoke of cattle.
