Another day of branding

Calf loaded and ready to be processed
The tray is for vaccine guns. We use an electric iron and a small portable gas generator. We really like this system. It only takes about a gallon of gas per branding, and the iron heats up very fast after the generator has been started. We keep it under the front of the pickup with a cord running to the back. It is much quieter and more fuel efficient than a propane heater.

By afternoon the wind was howling and affecting our roping. We parked the pickup and trailer on the north side of the branding pen to block the wind. It helped immensely.
