>> The phrase: >> "Vom Ochsen seind drei und achtzigerlei Speise und Trachten zu machen"
Well, my German mother thinks Trachten is still clothing in this context, as that's the term for folk clothing. Specifically for this case, the leather pants that comprise part of the gear. This could then literally be a reference to the use of the meat --and hide-- of the ox. Hard to tell without more of the original quote...
