Description At branding time the cattle are driven into a corral. A cowboy selects an unbranded calf and "heels" it by letting the loop of his rope catch the "critter" by the hind legs. The calf is thrown to the ground where it is then tied down. The "iron man" then takes a red-hot iron from the fire and works the brand on the hide of the calf. The branding iron must not slip or the brand will be blotched. Please credit: U.S. Soil Conservation Service.
