Round-up

     There is a lot of energy and excitement involved in a cow branding. First, one cowboy will rope the calf around the neck. Then, another cowboy ropes its hind legs from behind, bringing it to the ground. Once roped, a couple men will run out and hold the calf down while they brand it.
