[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1677958, member: 38101"] We don't brand calves only yearlings but it's all done through the chute. Whether It's pairs, cattle or yearlings being worked we'll sort on foot and we can do whatever needs doing with 2-3 people, 4 is almost too many. Usually more women and teenage girls than men when there's lots to do. If it's only 30-40 and during the week the boss's wife and I will just go pluck away at them while he's feeding silage etc, big days are done on the weekend when the kids are around. She trains horses so they get used a little to bring herds in, but rarely to sort etc. We refer to ourselves as cattle farmers instead of ranchers or cowboys - there's thousands and thousands of cows around here but cowboys are few and far between. Looks like a good time. [/QUOTE]
