The Branding

Today we did some branding and Sadie was the best crew member we had. She tagged ears, sprayed after they were cut, helped dehorn, give shots, get hot irons and put cold ones back on the fire, and even got to help brand one. When she was done she even had her first Rocky Mt. Oyster! Jojo and Cody enjoyed from afar and after 120 calves we left the rest of the work to the men so that we could get started on making lunch. Here are the pictures.
