How to get more Oxen in Manor Lords

If you want more Oxen, you can either order them one-by-one or import them en masse.

Ordering’s the more straightforward route. All you need to do is open up the menu for a Hitching Post or a Small Stable on your settlement map. Click Order Another Ox, which will cost 20 Regional Wealth You can only place an order once a month, since a livestock trader will come to your town to personally deliver your new purchase.

If you for whatever reason need a whole bunch of Oxen, you can import them. Craft a Livestock Trading Post. When the post is fully constructed, open its menu and click Trade. Under Oxen, select the Import option then adjust the Desired Surplus to receive an exact number of Oxen. Be aware that each beast will cost you 20 Regional Wealth, as usual.

Having more Oxen facilitates faster transport around your town, and if you’re interested in the Heavy Plot farming Development Upgrade – which lets your Oxen assist you in the fields and is one of the best Development Upgrades in the game – you’re going to want to start purchasing Oxen as soon as possible.

Once you have multiple Oxen in your settlement, it’s important that you start paying attention to Stable Space, which is similar to the Living Space requirement that you fulfill by building and upgrading your Burgage Plots. Like peasants, every ox needs a place to call home. The Small Stable and the Livestock Trading Post both provide 2 Stable Space, while the Hitching Post provides 1.
