Branding Day

We branded 8 calves. There are a couple different methods ranches use for branding the cows. We use the chute when we have a small crew. We were able to round up some family and friends to help us and our neighbor (who is a traditional cowboy through and through) was able to rope the cows for us.
 
Branding is a method of identifying a cow as belonging to a specific livestock owner (to prevent theft and to identify lost cows); it is also required by law in some states. We try to work quickly to reduce the discomfort to the cow. Watch our “Prepping for Branding” video for some more in-depth information about branding.
 
Thank you for watching and your support!
