DescriptionCows, bulls, and a calf stand in a grassy pasture or in a farm yard. Most appear to be Holsteins or Guernseys. A bull is held by a long pole attached to a ring in his nostrils. A young man holds the pole or stands beside a calf and cow. A stone wall, a barn, and a silo are in the background of some photographs. In a separate photograph, two white horses draw a plow through a field.
