Calf Branding (film #26 on America at Work, America at Leisure. Also in the Historical section of Open Video Project). [Category: Early Film & TV]

Some cowboys brand some hapless calves. Since this was made in 1898, this is the real deal, folks. Animal lovers might find this upsetting, but this has real historical value. An 1898 Edison film.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
