| Branding Season on the Singleton Ranches. Branding starts late Spring and crews from all the ranches work together over several weeks to get all the cattle branded. Their day starts at 4 am and by lunch they will have branded a couple hundred calves. |  |

The Singleton Ranches are composed of several historic ranches. Manager Alex Carone, a Nevada native blends his buckaroo style with the local New Mexico traditions. His crew is made of Buckaroos and Texas-style punchers.

| Tie-on vs Dally. The defining difference between the two styles lies in the roping. The Buckaroo dallies - pitching his slack and taking his turns around the saddle horn. The puncher rope is tied on to the saddle horn and uses a short rope. |  |

Highlight of a branding is lunch.
Lunch is made by the wife of the hosting Singleton Ranch manager. It's flavorful blend of New Mexican cuisine, served in a historic setting on the ranch. |
