Hope these geese are looking for a place to lay some golden eggs.

Ready to brand

Getting set up

Things are progressing now

Jesse

Kosmo Kid seems to be breaking in a new hat and a white T shirt

Jason figures if he has to do this farmer style, he will just go ahead and wear bib overalls.

Meanwhile back at the ranch

Plugs in the noise boxes

An old barn I haven't been in since I was a wee lad

This guy should be broke to drive

More colorful critters

Plain ol' black critters

On the move

A lot of them are cycling, and I don't mean riding around balancing on two wheels.

Sundown on the pond

That Jason fella has it figured out with the bib's, I started wearing them to work a couple of years ago as a joke and I've never stopped! :wink: They are really handy with all the bib pockets and they are so damn comfortable, biggest bonus is no more plumber crack! I don't look like much of a cowboy anymore, so I tell people I'm just a cattleman.

Thanks for all of your pics, we all love the tours!! :tiphat:

What is that mottled-face calf? Off the neighbors bull?

I was checking out some pasture where we will run yearling heifers this summer. It is owned by the folks who have the colorful critters.

The ladies look like they're in nice condition. They should breed up nice!

"Cycling" IS riding around, balancing on 2 hind wheels.

Noticing several different colored tags. Does that indicate something other than ownership? Also, is that table handy for castration?

The different colors of tags indicate different age groups of the mothers. The chute works well for castrating, although a foot is tied back with a small rope.
