Cowboys pose beside or on horses near Yellow Creek in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. A steer is on the ground, tied with ropes. A man holds a branding iron to the steer's flank, and another man leans over the steer. Kettles and an iron bar are over a fire pit. Men carry ropes and wear cowboy hats, gloves, jackets, chaps, and boots. A man wears suspenders and has a pipe.
