Great pics Soap! I assume you have a generator on the bale bed to power the branding iron? No cords running all over to trip over that way. :roll: I think I spy the genset and a gas can in the fueling up pic. :wink:

A generator really isn't any louder than a lot of LP branding stoves. An LP bottle and stove where calves can get to them always make me nervous.

Hot pink crayons are my favorite too! :oops: :oops: :twisted: :p 8)
