Thanks for your nice comments, everyone. We are lucky that we are 'in' with a bunch that still rope and drag the calves. Not that a calf table doesn't do the job, they do. It's just that we like horses so this is how we do it. I like Soapweeds branding trap because it is getting harder and harder to get wrestlers. We had a great crew, however, and there are some younger kids coming up that will learn how to wrestle.
For lunch we had Roast Beef (I had the grocery store cook it and slice it then I brought it home, heated it in a big electric roaster in its own juice); baked ham, potato salad, a corn dish I make with corn, mozzerlla cheese, onion, spaghetti noodles, butter; rolls, ranch beans, 3 different salads, chocolate cake and some other kind of bars. Oh, can't forget the beer. I think they all got plenty to eat because we had some left over. Wayyy too many salads left over that's for sure. But everyone took some home.
