Winning...

Z and I were reading Little House on the Prairie and Pa was telling Ma that the town now had around 75 people living in it...

Z: Wow! That's a lot!
Me: Do you know how many children go to your school?
Z: No. How many?
Me: About 850. Just in your school.
Z: WOW! How many oxen do we have?
Me: None...????
Z: So we have more people, but they had more oxen.

and it reminds me of Jonah 4:11 -
"But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?”

i think it might depend on just how many oxen were in the town.

So there is an inverse relationship between people and oxen births. Interesting.
