An old ranchero tells the story of his ranch to a little boy. Rancheros lead oxen carrying a wagon. The farm workers hammer a wooden plough together. They plough the land, holding the plough and leading the oxen. A Mexican man stretches a cow hide out on the ground, stretching it with pegs hammered into the ground. He cuts the hide into a circle.
