CATTLE DRIVE SERIES
Designed to represent and honor the ranching industry in southeastern New Mexico that began in the late 1800s and was significant to the development of Artesia. The three sculptures feature personalities common in the Pecos Valley during the Cattle Drive era and depict an action that may have been typical in the Southwest.
