I got a few branding pictures ready. Nothing spectacular just a few good shots My Darling Wife got so thanks go to her. We rope all the calves, when the guys aren't having trouble with their ropes, and drag them to the fire. Once to the fire the branding gets done.
Towards the end of branding some of the little calves are getting tired of being in the corral and this one found a novel place to try to rest. He never did look very comfortable but he wouldn't give the spot up either. These calves were just wondering if they were done yet.
We finally got them all done and My Darling Wife served up a great dinner, even the horses enjoyed their lunch at this time.
The only problem with the branding day was the wind was blowing very hard but since it has been wet enough there was no dust so that was nice. We got them done for another year. On to the next chores.

I'm just a city boy, but even I can see that you had your hands full. Had to laugh at the little one parked on top of the tire; good thing he didn't get it into his head to try getting inside. My thanks to Mrs. Sarpy, too!
