Grandma's bus

The answer, my friend, is blowing' in the wind.

See the little kitty

He likes to ride, too.

It's breezy up here.

Getting in two-year-old heifers and their calves to brand

Hope we don't get saddle sore.

Lining out for the corral

Using a pickup and trailer for a wing

And a fence makes a wing on the other side

Luring the cows out the gate with bales of alfalfa

Two-year-old heifers often sort quite hard. The feed wagon helps immensely.

Getting set up to brand

Crew at work

There were five of us doing the job.

The Kosmo Kid's bride watched the five little kids so Peach could vaccinate.

After we started putting them through the chute, we did 205 calves in three hours.

The For-Most table worked pretty well.

Feed to lure cattle, what a great idea. I do it here everytime I catch cattle. The stomach overrides the brain.

Love the picture of your grandson holding binoculars! Little ones are always intrigued with binoculars!

Thanks again Soapweed, your updates are always appreciated.

70 an hour is going through them. We did 55 an hour on Monday. I concede, you had a better crew...........
