  • One of six panels depicting the life and landscape of the Panhandle. A herd of short-horn cattle in foreground being herded onto cattle cars for shipment, by a rancher on horseback.  Behind him is a white corral fence, with two other cowboys sitting on it.  In the background, several cattle are grazing and two other cowboys ride horseback, one holding a lasso. Woeltz won a competition entered by 64 artists from the Southwest.  He was selected "for the distinction of the artist's style, for his feeling for light which might be used to advantage in painting Panhandle landscape and for his architectural quality of design".
