About this postcard

A large herd of black-and-white Holstein cattle grazes and rests in a broad green pasture, with a line of trees in full autumn color behind them and blue mountains under a pale sky beyond; a red-and-gold maple frames the right edge. No caption or imprint identifies the farm or region. The scene is typical of mid-20th-century American dairy country, where Holsteins were the dominant breed for fluid milk production, and of the linen-textured view cards popular from the 1930s into the 1950s.

188 CATTLE ON THE RANGE IN THE SOUTHWEST The western cattle ranges feed most of the U. S. There were no cattle in America when the Spaniards came (only buffalo). They brought a breed of "Long Horn" cattle which had their origin in Portugal. By the time Texas was annexed to the U. S. the Southwest was over-run by wild "Long Horns". Thousands were driven to northern markets. They are now replaced by better stock, great herds of which supply our finest beef steaks.
