They weren't. Branding was only done once a year, not twice. (However, twice-a-year branding is only necessary if a producer would have two calving seasons; in the Old West, there was only one calving season per year, hence only one branding-time a year.) Cattle are rounded up so that branding, castrating and thus recording of herd/calf/cow numbers could be done, then again to move cattle that were considered excess or "culls" to the herd could be sold.
