HIGH TAILIN' IT
27"H x 45"W x 16"D

   There is a unique breed of cowboy who contract out to ranches

   for the special job of gathering wild cattle, which had been missed 

   during earlier roundups.  These men are great cowpuncher, and

   their independant determination is legendary.  Bill has always had

   a great respect and admiration for their ability to find and rope

   these wild cattle, while on the chase through hot, rugged country.

   In this piece Bill has created a snapshot of intense, determination

   on each character involved in the drama.  The cowboy and his

   horse are making a run over rocks and brush to catch the wild

   cow and her calf.  His look is made and he knows if he ropes

   the mama cow, the bull calf will not go far.  That will make it

   easier to rope and drag him to the fire for branding.  The cattle

   are running as fast as they can to escape, as they often show by

   theri tails being raised and curled in the air.  In this fast moving

   split second scene, they are High Tailin' It with every hot breath.
