Looks like you had a good day, sure envy the dry ground and gravel.


We don't clip either but it does make a cleare brand if you do.

Looks like you had a nice day for the branding. The kids are having fun and are great little cowpokes. I like the brand which appears to to be a "milliron E." It shouldn't ever blotch. Thanks for the pictures.

When I rope and drahg the irons get lots of time to warm up but the vaccine gets stale dated. We clip everything in the cute too-sure makes a nicer brand. That is one cute pair on the flat deck!!!

How long do you folks apply an iron if you shave the hide first?

Thanks.......

I guess we never timed the iron placement , but it is shorter than if you don't shave them,

NR, we are south west of Salmon about 2-3 hrs...Bellevue
Per, we're thinkimg we need to brand earlier next yr, the table was a little hard to flip on some of the bull calves!

Great pictures!!! Patches looks like a dandy :) Where was Michelle? and who is the puppy?

We clip too, goes much quicker and less smoke. Some of ours were hard to tip over too.

Nicky... Michelle is in the orange shirt, the puppy belonged to one of the girls helping

Yes Hooks I'm positive they're mine, you don't think they got their skills and good looks from their Dad do ya???!!!! :lol: :lol: :p :wink:

Patches is going to fit in nicely, we've already had a guy offer to buy her!
