The screw-up the brand actually saved · The Bunkhouse
Jimmy Hurdstrom (The screw-up the brand actually saved) is a character in Yellowstone, part of The Bunkhouse. Jimmy Hurdstrom arrives as a meth-adjacent petty thief branded onto the ranch as a favor to his grandfather — the bunkhouse's designated disaster, learning the cowboy life one humiliation at a time. Then the rodeo finds him: bronc riding, two broken everythings, a choice between the buckle and the brand. Shipped to the Four Sixes in Texas as punishment, Jimmy completes the show's one clean coming-of-age — the screw-up who leaves a cowboy, with a fiancée and his own horizon.
