Size and purpose is the main thing: oxen are trained and used as draft animals, steers as food. Oxen grow to full maturity, steers get slaughtered young.

Well thanks Unity...hanging out on here is liken to getting a BA at some esteemed College. Now why would anybody want to try to cook an Ox? Dont you think it tend to a little tough since it has built up it's muscles pulling all them Pilgrims over the mountains and such stuff? I'm thinking it might be sorta like trying to cook a Clydesdale. Straighten out my view here please.

I'm still trying visualize the temp difference twixt the bottom and top racks. Would think the answer got to be composed of at least 3 digits with the first not being a one or a two
