These cowboys are heading home after a roundup. The style of their clothing indicates that this takes place around the turn of the century. The men haven't been out for very long - not like during the big cattle drives of the 1860s and 1870s, when cattle were taken to market many miles away. This roundup was a small one by comparison; yet it was hard work, too. Now that the drive is finished, they can head back to the ranch.
