“One ox's raw grain, one cow's milk.”

Meaning

This proverb emphasizes distinct origins, sources, or purposes for different things. It implies that each item has its specific provenance and function: an ox provides grain (or helps with agriculture for grain), while a cow provides milk. It can be used to caution against conflating different things, to highlight the clear distinction of roles or contributions, or to state that different outcomes stem from different causes.
