Branding Smoke!

We're getting started with the branding a little bit earlier than usual this year, but with the nice weather and long winter we've had, it seemed like a good time to do it.  And not to mention the fact there's going to be 100+ more calves to do with the heifers we kept.  Might as well get rolling!  We're giving the cows their pre-breeding shots and they'll be ready to go as soon as the date is right on the calendar.

Sorting through the bull calves to see who will now become a steer. 

There's something about the smell of branding smoke.  

Some extra help came from Utah this week..great Spring Break activity.
