Descriptive Information

Title
Cattle Crossing Broken Fence  
Description
This drawing shows how cattle and other livestock would wander beyond farms if proper fencing was not installed.  
Interpretation
Because cattle and hogs roamed free, fence maintenance was an essential task for farmers. Much of the corn farmer's time was spent keeping livestock out of the fields.  
Inscription
Because cattle and hogs roamed free, fence maintenance was an essential task for farmers. Much of the corn farmer's time was spent keeping livestock out of the fields. (Tim Bunker Papers)
