The Circle C Cowbells emblem is in the middle of the mural. This organization started in 1974 as a way to promote livestock raising in Coleman County. They have since changed the name of their organization to Circle C Cattlewomen. Personally, I like the Cowbells better.

In more modern times, we have other styles of identification including ear tags, and tattoos, but branding is still used to identify ownership of animals. This is especially important in Western states, where grazing of public lands is vital to raising cattle. Out on the vast ranges cattle can easily wonder or get mixed with other herds. Believe it or not, there are still modern-day cattle rustlers to keep an eye out for. Being able to identify an animal’s owner by a brand is critically important.
