[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1745375, member: 17524"] 6-8 in the pen at a time? WOW. They must know what they are doing and/or have a big pen. That's pretty amazing. I've seen problems with 3 ropers in a pen. It's getting hard to get branding help here anymore. I can remember when the guys wouldn't go to a branding if the owner of the cattle used a branding table, but they have gotten more common as help is hard to find. Some ranchers pay the school to get the ag kids to come an help. Mr. Fh says, "when I was young, the old guys roped and the kids wrestled. Now I am old the kids rope and the old guys wrestle." Seems to happen a lot. There certainly is 'branding etiquette, some of which has been lost. Why would a roper go into the pen, go clear through the cattle and rope a calf on the backside of the pen? I've never figured that out. I've been to brandings that were so good, the calves laid down in the middle of the pen, things have been so calm, but I've seen more of the other way. I love the 'art' of roping to brand calves and keep them calm. [/QUOTE]
