Branding this spring was a family affair for the Sniders of
Oklahoma, a family that includes cowboy poet, reciter, and songwriter Jay
Snider's family and his son Rusty's family, which includes ShyAnn and Rowdy.
This year each of the kids—representing
the fifth generation of Snider cowboys—roped
their first calves:
Jay, Rowdy, and Rusty; three generations of Snider cowboys
Thanks to Rusty and Leslie Snider for the
photographs.
