All gathered up and ready to go...
 Rick, 'Roper', Bianca and 'Junior' sort mommas from babies.
Lots of elements to this operation, every man afoot has a job.
 Moo!
 Joe and 'T4' begin roping calves.
Nice roping Joe!
 BC Ranch Manager coaches on how to flank.
Rick and 'Roper' rope another!
 Hot iron branding - it's the law in NM.
Cowboy Up! Pit Crew ~ Flanking, holding and marking.
  "Guess there's no use fighting it..."
Look at all that goes on!
 Team Cowboy Up!
Lots going on at once during a branding!
 After mommas are joined up with their calves we gather...
...and put 'em back on pasture.
Thanks for the help all!
Stellar Day!
