About this Art:
During the day, when the cowboys are bringing the cattle off the range, especially a big heard of cattle, once or twice they might get a count of all the cattle that they've gathered up that day. Usually the one who gets the count is the cow boss. He will position himself somewhere where the cattle are strung out and moving slow, rather than bunched up. This helps him get an accurate count as they move through the area. He will look for a spot he can ride off a little distance from the cattle and he will pick a stationary object - a fence post, a rock, an old tree - something like that, that he can point his fingers towards, and that's where he will make his count as the animals pass that stationary object. Anything that passes that place gets counted once. His finger isn't moving, his eye isn't moving, he keeps his eye right there and counts anything that moves past it. If you look real carefully, you'll see in the distance an old, dead tree trunk. Almost all the branches have come off it. It's probably a spot every year where this cowboy will stop to get a count.
