Pulling Down His Rope

Bill Yellowtail, Sr, in a blue shirt, black down vest, blue jeans, and a NAPA Auto Parts ball cap, sits atop a horse in a pasture on the edge of a wooded area. Yellowtail holds a lasso in his right hand and the reins in his left, as he herds several of his Belted Galloway cattle. It is late winter or early spring, judging by the bare trees. Hay is strewn on the ground - feed that Yellowtail had probably recently distributed to his cattle. The scene takes place on the Yellowtail family ranch near the Big Horn Mountains on the Crow Indian Reservation, Montana.
