Sw,nice picture,geeze,i dont think theres that many cowboys within 200 miles of us lol,but its good to see there are large amounts left of us somewhere.Have you ever tried branding on the jaw with a 2 incher? Or would it save the same amount of hide?The company my dad buys for brands all of their turn out yearlings on the outside left ankle i guess youd call it,but ive seen plenty of blothches,even though they use squeeze chutes.Lol,thats the only place i see one of those big whinin slammin things useful,because depending on the runs they may have to process a few hundred head to a few thousand a day,ranging from ropin calves to seedstock bulls.Depending on my dads mood we usually rope and drag all of our calves,and maybe team rope a small cow or two lol,but if he's in a bad mood or a hurry to get to another place for whatever reason he makes us use the chute...sour puss X(
