Thanks to Sam Talley who notes: "When animals were used to move logs on the skid roads, oxen were far superior to horses and mules. They were slow, deliberate and methodical. They could be led from the front or side instead of driven from behind where the view was limited. They did not sweat and had more stamina, and responded well to verbal commands and signals."
