Any pertinent technical details:

I had the good fortune to get to witness a genuine branding recently (125 yrs of doing it annually). This 11 yr old lad was as good a roper as anybody there! D500, Nikon 18-200 lens, 1/1600th, f 5.6, 56mm, ISO 320, hand held, cropped to 5568 x 3712, AI Clear

Nice action, Dave. Image quality is excellent. What’s with the rope already on the calf?

One puncher ropes the front, and another ropes the back then they immobilize it, throw it then brand it. Roping the hind legs of a running animal looks HARD!
