Proverbs 14:4

Without oxen (beasts of burden – Hebr. alafim), the manger is sparkling clean (Hebr. bar),
but a strong ox (Hebr. shor) yields a large harvest.
[If you don't have oxen, you don't need to fill the feed trough as often (the smaller animals don't eat as much), but it is the ox that enables the farmer to bring in a good harvest. The point is that you have to make an investment (acquire and feed the oxen) in order to get a large return.]
