Cattle Branding in AZ- Posted by: Rachel Been
I recently went to Arizona to eat some BBQ and drink 12 packs of Fresca, drive through river beds, trot ignorantly on a stubborn horse (groin = bruised), and of course, photograph cattle branding.
Although I am not a big advocate of red meat, I wasn't squeamish during the dance of burning hide, even though the smell permeated for a few hours after the event. I met some amazing cowboys who have been working the land their entire lives, and much to PETA's amazement confessed a sense of respect for the animals. Unlike most of the cattle in the country, detrimentally being fed corn and forced into claustrophobic pens, these rodeo cows roamed fresh Arizona soil and ate actual grass... and now they had an aesthetic sear to match with their posh lifestyle.
