I’ve been stewing and brewing on a branding post, since branding season kicked off back in April. However, I’ve been unable to capture the pictures I feel are necessary to capture the essence of a Southern Idaho head-and-heel branding. All this, despite the fact the kids and I ditched school a few weeks ago to go branding. Unfortunately, the school year has caught up with my children and they were dragging hind end Friday morning. As a result, we arrived at the branding pen as the last calf was receiving his iron. I managed a few shots, before the excitement ended and the much-needed rain began. I hope you enjoy the photos, we certainly enjoyed the rain. While you are waiting with baited breath for a more substantial post, click on over to On Pasture and Faces of Agriculture for more of me. I am honored to be included on these pages, they are well worth your time. Thank you all.
I’ve never been on a ranch. We have farms of the smaller kind here in Georgia, but someone very close to me married a ranchers son and now lives in Nebraska that I will be visiting later this month. Can’t wait to see part of their ranch and the black Angus they raise! Just happened that I seen your post on my fb page and decided to check it out, very interesting indeed! the 25 things I want my children to learn was a very good read that could be applied to all children! Enjoyed looking at your pics also!
Great pictures. Came across your blog via facebook. Will continue to follow your posts.
Oh and congratulations on the continued success of “25 things”. You go girl!
Thank you!
I bet those stormclouds were a welcome sight. Are you still in drought in Idaho?
The rain sure helped green things up, but our mountain snow pack is less than 50% of the seasonal average. Streams and reservoirs are drying up rapidly.
Very nice looking horse. That little one is so cute. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for stopping by Joani. Our friend Tub has an eye for good horses.
