\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bronco branding is the traditional method of branding cattle in the Outback and has been practiced on most of the large stations throughout Australia.<\/p>\n

Once the mob has been mustered a stockmen\u00a0 rides in and ropes a cleanskin calf from his horse. The catcher then hauls the calf to a bronco ramp where it is held, earmarked and branded.<\/p>\n

The whole process can take less than a minute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The modern process uses a calf cradle and this reduces both the time and labour costs for outback stations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The use of open or yard broncoing, as seen here, has become virtually obsolete, and, along with that, the skills of the Australian stockman.<\/p>\n

To keep those skills alive there are now bronco branding competitions all over the Outback.<\/p>\n

The next one is in Marree on June 12. If you don’t mind a bit of dust it’s worth joining in to see our station people doing their thing.<\/p>\n
