Description
Photograph of the last of the bull teams: seventeen bulls and sixteen wagons pulling 96,000 pounds of wool in Montana, July 1892. Bulls of various colors stand in a long line at the edge of a building at what appears to be a loading platform. The line of bulls extends into the distnace while a crowd of men stands in the center of the picture on top of the platform and the cargo that needs to be loaded. The building behind the men appears to be constructed of plan wooden siding and a basic roof. Short grass and a rock covered ground sit in the foreground.
