[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1678006, member: 498"] All the calves should be branded here. To much shared BLM range and fences which are more of suggestion than a barrier. Not much out right theft happening. However, there are some people who might not look real close at a calf that got mixed in with theirs. And cows from here have shown up 100 road miles from here in the fall. Trust your neighbors but brand your calves. Last winter one of the neighbors was at small feedlot over by town. He was talking to the feedlot manager close to the squeeze chute. He happened to notice a calf in the pen. Asked which pen of calves this one came from. He was told. Well it wasn't the owner of the calf. He knew that the actual owner didn't have any calves at that feedlot. Just a mistake I am sure. But some mistakes are made because someone doesn't look to close. Everyone here ropes and drags to the fire except one outfit. They use a calf table by themselves. Their son told me that if they invited the neighbors to their branding that they would have to go to the neighbors branding. Yep, it is called community. Funny part is when I was looking at buying this place that same son told me that Baker county was ranchers, Union county (next one to the west) was a farmer community. Ranchers help each other. Farmers not nearly as much. When I was rebuilding my corral I had two different rancher neighbors tell me to get my supplies together and let them know. They would set up a work party day. I didn't do it because they have a lot more to do than I do. But the offer was sure appreciated. [/QUOTE]
