The Working Herd
The Working Herd is a visual tribute to the strength, resilience, and enduring spirit of working cattle. Through striking fine art imagery, these photographs capture the grit, character, and quiet dignity of animals shaped by a life of labor and legacy. From the powerful gaze of a mature Longhorn to the youthful promise in a calf’s eyes, each image tells a story of heritage and hard-earned grace.
Select images within The Working Herd collection are available as strictly limited editions of only 25 prints. Each limited edition is digitally signed by Tiffany Bumgardner and accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity with an edition number, ensuring exclusivity and archival value.
Limited Edition Prints are offered in curated sizes — 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, and 40x60 — and produced on your choice of two museum-grade papers:
– Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta, a heavyweight, satin-gloss paper with rich blacks and exquisite detail
– Moab Somerset Museum Rag, a soft, matte 100% cotton paper prized for its refined texture and tonal depth
Open edition prints are available on Moab Entrada Bright Rag, a 100% cotton fine art paper with a smooth surface and natural brightness that beautifully renders detail, depth, and soft tonal transitions.
Prints are offered in curated sizes: 8×12, 12×18, 13×19, and 16×24.
Open edition works are also offered as ready-to-hang Fine Art Giclée Canvas prints in the same sizes — professionally stretched and crafted using archival materials for long-lasting display.
Prints are delivered on fine art paper with a 1-inch white border included in the final dimensions. This added border allows flexibility for matting or framing. If you plan to mat the image, we recommend consulting your framer to ensure the best mounting method for your display preferences.
For collectors who value the raw beauty and enduring legacy of working cattle, The Working Herd offers a powerful fine art experience celebrating strength, heritage, and spirit.

Tag 20
"Tag #20" is a portrait of a young cow caught in the quiet tension between sentience and system. In the world of livestock, animals are often reduced to numbers—tracked, tagged, and processed. This image isolates one moment, one gaze, to challenge that abstraction. The green ear tag, a symbol of control and categorization, contrasts with the softness of the calf’s features and the depth in its eye.
