[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1677939, member: 498"] We do 300+ calves at some of the brandings here. That takes more than 3 people on 3 horses. At the 3 to 300 ratio you would have cowboys whose arm is about to fall off and horse too tired to walk. We spent way less than a couple hours branding the calves. Sorting and organizing took some time. They were hauled in two trips to summer pasture. Three goose neck loads of cows and one full of calves on each trip. Needed cows and calves to match up on each trip. This is a terrible place to mother things up. Cows or calves not matching up...... well by the time we were back with the next load it is hard telling where they might be. Big rough country. Cows worked here all go though a chute of course. Most everyone has a hydraulic chute. I am one of few here with a manual chute. Again it is not a few cows. Often 300+ cows in an afternoon. [/QUOTE]
