The sun was shining and there wasn't wind, so it was a perfect day for branding. The excitement woke the kids bright and early and they were out the by 7:30 to sort off the calves.
There were jobs for everyone. Running them through the chute is such a better way to get the job done and involve the kids. The alley way needed sprayed to keep the dust down, vaccines needed mixed, EID tags needed read with the scanner, fences needed climbed, and calves needed shooed (Dalanie was a professional and she sure could holler at them.) I got the office job and tagged and kept records.
We came home stinky and tired, but thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Ruby complained about the cows being "too noisy."
