[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 594906, member: 7233"] Had a successful day working cows yesterday. As far as the brands, I guess we'll have to wait and see how they turn out. The sand bucket was great as it held the iron safely and cleaned it off between brands. The iron was very hot and only took about a total of 3 seconds to make the proper saddle leather color on the hide. A squeeze chute can't hold the hip area steady, even with someone holding the tail (maybe we still need practice with this) so it was impossible to hold the brander in one place for the whole 3 seconds. But quickly hitting the same spot a few times in a row seemed to work since you have about a second before they react at all. Thank you, Earl, for the reminder that pour on is a flammable chemical. We wormed last. Although they didn't exactly enjoy it, it really wasn't that bad. What they hate worse is when I spray the Catron tick spray in their ears. [/QUOTE]
