All four men are wearing dark colored suits and are holding their hats in their hands. Behind the pen, four other men also wearing dark colored suits are visible. A sign on the pen reads "Range Ewes from Different Sections of the State. 1. Fine Wool. Cross Bred. Cen. & Western. 2. " " Rambouillet. North".
