Description of the flag

It is a 3:5 very very dark blue (Old Glory blue) flag with a four golden ears of wheat limiting a dark red (Old Glory red) rough lozenge in the center of the flag; on it a pair of white horns with golden joint above a wind-powered water pump (?) propeller and rudder, all golden.

I notice also some good supporting information on the Wolf Creek Heritage Museum site that gives background: http://www.wolfcreekheritagemuseum.org/countyflag.php

The Lipscomb County Flag was designed by Ms. Verda Harper in 1976. She was the winning designer in a contest sponsored by the county commissioner's court for a flag design that exemplified the county heritage and lifestyle. The submitted designs were judged by a five member committee at the Texas Historical Commission in Austin. The flag was part of the County's Bi-Centennial Celebration.

Ms. Harper explained her design as follows:

• The windmill shows the abundance of water in the county that supports the two major industries: wheat and cattle.
• The colors show allegiance to Texas and the United States.
• Blue signifies sincerity and unity to the county.
  Red: Bravery and courage of the early pioneers and present day citizens.
  Gold: Honor, loyalty, and prosperity.
  White: Faith in God and the land.

Sheriff's office

The Lipscomb County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office does not have a flag, as reported to me by an individual who responded to my query through the Office’s Facebook page.
