Branding

We got to go watch the branding of the family cattle last week. Between our camera and another I have some fun pictures to share with you. We weren’t present when they separated the calves from the cows, which means I have no pictures of people riding horses. All you get to see is the actual branding.

Here’s the big picture of what’s happening. They’re working with a small group of calves in a small pen. In this picture you can see the three pairs of people holding calves all at the same time.

Dad, I took this for you.

Don’t worry. He ran away happy.

Farmers can talk farm in any situation.

They also castrate when they brand.
