Adult male cattle (4)

I believe the answer is:

oxen

(Other definitions for oxen that I've seen before include "Domesticated bovine draft animals" , "Doctored bulls" , "Beasts of burden or domestic cattle" , "Bovine mammals" , "workers in the field?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
