Cattle Yard, Chomes, Costa Rica (circa 1910s): A Glimpse into the Past of Costa Rican Ranching This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of a cattle yard in the small rural town of Chomes, Costa Rica, during the 1910s. The image offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of ranching in this Central American country, which has long been known for its livestock production. In the foreground of the photograph, a group of rancheros, or ranch hands, are seen working together to guide a herd of steers through the pen. Their weathered faces and worn clothing speak to the physical labor and dedication required to maintain the ranch and care for the livestock. The steers, with their powerful builds and determined expressions, are a testament to the strength and resilience of the animals that have thrived in this rugged terrain. The cattle yard, with its simple yet functional design, serves as a hub for the daily operations of the ranch. The pen, where the steers are temporarily held before being driven to market, is surrounded by a low fence, allowing the rancheros to easily manage the herd. In the background, the rolling hills of Chomes stretch out towards the horizon, providing ample space for the cattle to graze and roam. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the people of Costa Rica and their livestock, a connection that has shaped the country's rural communities and economy for generations. The image invites us to reflect on the history and traditions of ranching in Costa Rica, and to appreciate the beauty and dignity of the land, the animals, and the people who have worked it for so long.
