Spring Branding

When not working on landscape photography, I like to dabble into capturing parts of the cowboy lifestyle. My husband and I own and operate a working cattle ranch. Every late spring we brand the calves (sadly cattle rustling is still a problem in the more tamed wild west) and castrate the steers we don't want left as bulls.

We do our brandings the traditional way, roping and dragging to be brought to a team of wrestlers who then hold the calf down on the ground for the branding and castrating to take place.
