Since there was often very little timber suitable for yard building, cattle needed to be branded without yards, leading to the evolution of the broncoing method. There are thousands of men and women in Australia today who have 'broncoed' cattle, but few know about the technique's origin and, in recent times, this has become a matter of debate. How did this technique come into being? How does it work? How were cattle handled before broncoing was developed? Who developed it, when and where? This book provides answers to these questions.
