[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1686501, member: 498"] That branding I went to yesterdayday. I didn't take the camera and I certainly wish I had. This place was made to be photographed. A nice green basin probably 400+ acres. It was burned in a big fire here back in 2015 so there is nothing but grass. And the grass there is still green. The day before they had set up panels for a pen and herded about 150 pairs into the basin. The pen was on the lower center of the basin. We herded the cattle into the pen and the fun began. I was vaccinating and it was steady. They were constantly bringing calves to the fire. It slowed toward the end as the ropers had to search through the herd for calves that hadn't been worked. Plenty of good help who were well mounted. I have mentioned a couple of young ladies (sisters) on here before who are hands. About half of the calves belong to one of these gals and her fiance. All of their bull calves need to be cut. Those two young ladies had their hands covered with blood and the front of their pant legs were bloody from wiping their hands. It was a site to see. Those two don't shy away from anything. [/QUOTE]
