THE HEN WAS INVOLVED BUT THE PIG WAS COMMITTED

It’s one of my favourite analogies and, used in the correct context, can sum up a situation perfectly.
But I’ve come up with one of my own:

The hen may lay the egg but the oxen bear the yoke.

I just need to iron out the finer points regarding its meaning and then find some suitable context in which it can be used – other than on a blog!
