Logic: The Ox and the Plough

The Guru will give 250 tokens to the first person who posts the correct answer to the question below:

A farmer is ploughing a field with his ox and plough. The field is 250 metres wide by 100 metres long. The furrows are two and a half metres wide and run in parallel strips lengthways across the field.

As it pulls the plough, the Ox can cover approximately one metre with each stride.

Question
How many hoof prints does the Ox leave in the entire field?

Hi,

we think that no hoof prints will be left in the field. The ox pulls the plough, so the hoof prints will be erased by the plough.

Is this the answer :?:
