Two cowboys on horseback driving five longhorn cattle and one heifer across a railroad track. Each cowboy holds a lasso in his proper right hand. Each has a "six-shooter" in a holster on his proper right side. The cowboys wear broad-brimmed hats and nineteenth century western clothes. The bronze sculpture stands on a bronze self-base atop a mound of pink granite rough-hewn rock. The rock sits atop a polished pink granite base. On the front of the base is the Seal of Texas.
