These sound like lofty phrases. Some would even argue that they're above having to demonstrate they're capable of these ideals. However, there's something to be said of folks who prove that they're dedicated.
These themes pop up in the hit TV show Yellowstone. Some characters on Yellowstone are even branded.
But what does that mean in the context of the show?Article continues below advertisement

No, it doesn't mean that the characters in the show who are branded are going to be marched up a slaughterhouse assembly line, but it marks that they, like the beef on Dutton land, ultimately belong to the family.Source: Paramount NetworkArticle continues below advertisement
The "Y" symbol is also supposed to represent a sort of "rebirth" for the individuals who receive the mark. It's no secret that many of the folks who wind up working on the Dutton Ranch have troubled pasts, so getting branded makes them focus on their new lives.
It's like they're starting down entirely new path, for as long as they live. Who has been branded on ' Yellowstone'
Seeing that the brand is a symbol of loyalty, one would assume that it's always something positive, right?
Well, that's the case for most of the characters on the show who've taken hot iron to their chests.Article continues below advertisement
Many of the bunkhouse mates on the ranch "graduate" to the inner circle of the Dutton family after receiving the brand, and the only time they're offered the mark is when Rip (and presumably John) want them to swear an oath, so to speak. Teeter proudly shows off her brand to John Dutton to demonstrate her ride-or-die attitude toward the ranch patriarch, and there's a pretty emotional scene that shows her receiving the mark in the series.Article continues below advertisement

Rip practices what he preaches too. He has a brand himself. John Dutton's son Kayce has the brand, and Lloyd, one of the ranch OGs, sports the marking.

Trying Yellowstone again. Had to skip the first ep at the branding just couldn't get past it. Trying ep 2 and it's again such eye-rolling, mawkish, macho crapola replete with meaningless epigrammatic profundities and childish views of masculinity.

Is it supposed to self-parody?— Michael Grant (@MichaelGrantBks) December 24, 2021 Colby got his brand alongside Teeter, who proved themselves after they go on a quest for vengeance against Clint and Morrow, who attempted to kill them and they threatened the ranch.Article continues below advertisement
I love how everyone conveniently has a branding iron in the back of their pickup in Yellowstone ???— CB Carpenter (@HashknifeKid) July 24, 2021 It's worth noting that Kayce's brand is a bit different than everyone else's though, as it was primarily given to him as a punishment. Many fans think that his leaving the ranch because of the effect it had on his wife Monica had something to do with that.
