There are different methods of branding used on the cattle ranges. This one is most commonly used when working near the home ranch. The use of a corral makes the work easier for the boys. Note the smoke from the branding irons, and the white cow who listens to the bellowing of her calf which is being branded. One of these cow boys has since gained much fame as a writer of western short stories |
