onghorn cattle were an important factor in settling the West. A lean and hearty animal, they could weather difficult conditions and survive long cattle drives better than other breeds.
n this scene a longhorn is seen reclining, a brief respite before it returns to grazing. On one of its horns is perched a small bird who has stopped to rest on the closest available "branch". Both are engaged in a brief stop on their journeys, a "Layover".
