: O carro é ox-wagon, então acho que só oxen basta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox-wagon. Embora "draft animal" seja correto, pode referir-se a cavalos e outros animais também.

ox-cart steers
Tomando-se em consideração que "carro de boi", em inglês, é "ox-cart", e "steer" são touros castrados usados como força de trabalho, deduzo que ox-cart steers possa ser indicado no seu caso.

oxen for wagon drawing
I was going to suggest "traction animals" but since it was already mentioned in the context (animais de tração), I would say "oxen for wagon drawing"
Oxen are used for plowing, transport, hauling, grain-grinding, and wagon drawing . Oxen are sometimes used to skid logs in low-impact select cut logging. ...
