Due to circumstances beyond control, yesterday's branding had to be postponed until today. The weather was lovely, and wind wasn't a factor. It was an enjoyable day.
Getting another bunch in to brand
A good crew, five total counting the picture taker
Going around the gooseneck trailer which is parked to make a wing
And up into the corner
Now they are headed the right direction.
The riders make a formidable blockade.
Brady's first shot only caught one leg.
So he turns loose to try again
The rest of the crew waits patiently.
Here comes one like it is supposed to be done.
The calf getting branded and vaccinated
Rena just brought one in.
Brady with only one hand on the wheel
I just hate it when my gig-line is off. :?
We took the Polaris home to eat dinner.
Guarding the trail behind us
It's hard to drive and take pictures at the same time.
