Notes
Les Stewart describes the roles of ropers, tailers, earmarkers, branders, and castrators in branding. Recorded in a barn on the 96 Ranch.
Les enumerates the branding jobs and their names. As the abundant literature on the subject attests, there is some variation in practice and terminology throughout the West. (For examples see Ward 1958, 59-62; Dary 1981, 156-57; and Erickson 1981, 136-39.)
