by Delsa Allen

There's nothing quite like the smell of branding smoke early in the morning ... Sublette County ranchers have been helping each other gather their cattle to brand. Most brandings are over as the cycle will now move into taking the cattle to BLM and forest allotments for the summer. Here brand inspector Bob Beard puts a Grubbin' Hoe on a calf held by Ryan and Maggie Roberts.
