Best Answer

It is about a man looking back on the past generations of his family from his great uncle, to his father, and now to him. His family began in farming with the cattle business but as time went on cattle auctions were replaced with fairs, ruining the family business. Now all that remains is his father's stick and his uncle's portrait which is moved to the attic symbolizing the end of his uncles original trade.
