The lead steer is very important to the cowboys in cattle drives. 
He needs to be the type that will not let anyone else get in front of him, 
but also needs to be calm and unafraid. The herd will follow him 
and go places where they may normally not want to go, such as across 
rivers or into pens at the end of the cattle drive. By staying calm, 
the lead steer helps keep the herd from stampeding if they encounter 
something that scares them, like coyotes. One famous lead steer from the 
1800's was named "Old Blue" and he was beloved to his cowboys. His horns
are on display at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.

36 x 36"

This is a painting that I did a couple of weeks ago, 
but wasn't thrilled with the colors.
So I livened it up with some brighter hues.
I like it much better now and
I hope you do, too!
