With HORSES? are you sure? --- Zaratustra 00:34, 17 November 2007 (EST)

I highly doubt that claim. I've had a fort that has had one female muskox for the past two years and a whole bunch of horses. And yet no muskox calves. – unsigned comment by Bouchart

Muskoxen are available as domestic haulers This sorta implies they can be used in-game. I am assuming though they are only useful for hauling at the "embark" stage?

If they can be used in-game - then maybe there should be a page for domestic hauler or beast of burden or something?GarrieIrons 04:33, 7 February 2008 (EST)

I got one male and 3 females, is this normal? I bought two from the embark menu and got two for "free" Is there always one bull and the rest are females to maximize the amount of calves? --LASD 16:25, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

The RNG just gave you two female muskox for pulling your wagon. You took along an extra two, which were determined by the "one male, then one female" clause. --GreyMario 16:40, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
