A cow stands on a wooden platform at center and faces left. In front of the cow and on the platform, 2 men stand and clean the cow. The man at center stands with his back to camera and appears to scrub the animal. The man at right holds a hose and faces left. Directly behind the cow, fencing lines the pen. At far left, some horses are partially visible in their paddock on the other side of fence.
Two young women and cow stand at center and pose for camera. The cow stands between the 2 girls and looks to the camera. At left, one girl smiles to camera as she stands beside and leans over the cow. The girl at right stands slightly behind the cow and also leans onto the animal. She rests a hand to the nape of its neck and holds its bridle with the other hand. Behind them, the pen stretches across the background. In the distance at left, a cylindrical tank sits atop a wagon bed.
Several swine are viewed close-up as they eat from a trough in their pen at the Los Angeles County Fair. The trough lies on the ground at center and stretches back on an angle. Seven pigs stand in a row along the right side of the trough as they eat from it. Two more eat from the left side of the trough. Wooden fencing encloses the pen and stretches across the background.
A steer stands at center in his pen at the Los Angeles County Fair. The animal is viewed close-up and straight-on; it looks to the camera. A clasp is attached to a ring in the steer's nostrils. On its forehead, a triangular patch of white sits. Two small horns extend outward from the top of the steer's head. Behind him, the pen extends across the background. A large tent stands in partial view in the distance at right.
