re the pieces of mail, the brandswere the addresses on the pieces. A certain area having been thoroughly searched, all thecattle on it were crowded together at the round-up ground,which then presented a scene of great activity. Hundreds(not thousands, as sometimes stated) of bellowing cattlesurrounded by two or three dozen cowboys lost in an im-mense cloud of dust were the most prominent elements.The dust could be seen for miles, a great deal of it gettinginto the nostrils of the thirsty cow punchers. The cattlebeing rounded up, the process of cutting out began, aprocess analogous to throwing the mail in various bags forvarious towns. The herd having been subdivided into twoor three subsidiary herds, these were driven in directionsthat would bring the cattle closer to their respective ranches.Before the days of pens to hold the cattle, the roping andbranding of calves and the cutting out took place on theopen prairie. A number of men were then needed to keepthe cattle from scattering.
