Got the calves branded up yesterday. Usually I try to do two different bunches but it didn't work out this year so we did them all in one day. I can say it went excellently.
My oldest daughter got some kids out to wrestle for me and it made all the difference in the world. Without them I have a great crew. With them I had a great, big crew and really ran through the calves and got them done in good order. I love it when a plan comes together.
Lots of other brandings coming up now too. The weekends are pretty full branding up neighbors cattle. It's always fun to go to brandings and visit with people. I didn't get much of a chance at mine since I was so busy but I will at other brandings.
Now I need to get the cattle split up into thier summer pastures so I can get bulls out shortly. It's all ready getting to that time of year.

I participaed in my first branding yesterday - although I ended the day tired, sweaty, and smelling like cow s***, I had a great time. Off to do it again on the 31st.

I was hoping for pictures. I have to say I'm always glad when ours is done and it goes well.
