A collection of photos from the branding event at Chico Basin Ranch in Hanover, Colorado.

For the past quarter of a century, Chico Basin Ranch has been under the care of Ranchlands, a ranching company owned and run by the Phillips family. However, the family's lease has come to an end and they were recently faced with their final cattle branding before they must bid farewell to the ranch in December.

As the Phillips family says goodbye to the ranch they have called home for so many years, they are also on the search for a new piece of land to continue their ranching legacy. Their herd of Beefmaster cattle, which has been meticulously bred and nurtured over the past 25 years, is a testament to the family's dedication and hard work.

During their final cattle branding on the ranch, the team diligently vaccinated, branded, and tagged over 300 calves. It was bittersweet for the Phillips family, as they reflected on the countless memories and traditions that have been forged on the ranch throughout the years.
