Heel roper on branding day
The photo was taken at the Copperhead Creek ranch, a family-owned cattle ranch in southern Monterey County one the Central Coast of California. We had just driven the herd to our branding corrals, and were roping and heeling the cattle in order to brand and inoculate them.
