Cattle Drive, Sculpture in Dallas, US
Cattle Drive is a bronze sculpture by Robert Summers placed near a paved walkway in Dallas. A herd of dark cattle figures, some with long horns, stands beside a mounted figure on horseback, with trees and water visible behind them.
Robert Summers created this work to honor the cattle drives that shaped the region’s early economy. The piece stands in an area associated with the city’s origins as a stop for herders moving livestock north.
The bronze cattle and mounted figure recall the long cattle drives that once ended in this part of Texas. Visitors often stop beside the animals to look at their hooves and horns up close, which gives a sense of how big the real herds must have been.
The sculpture sits in a public area with a paved walkway, so you can view it while passing on foot. Large trees nearby give shade, which helps when the Texas sun is strong.
If you stand close to the longhorn figure, you can see how its horns sweep outward almost level with your shoulders. The nearby water and low bridge are easy to miss because the eye goes first to the dark bronze animals.
