This was an elders quourm activity, I know...we live in the sticks! I have never branded like this before.
You have to have someone that can catch a calf with a rope or there isn't very many calves getting branded. The little boys were out there with their ropes (catching and even pulled some in by hand!) They were using a iron that had to be heated, these head catch things that helped hold the calves down. Telfords brought this little pony that Aleigha just loved. -She had always been scared to death of horses, but she didn't want to get off that little thing.
Porter learned how to castrate calves (we tried to get him to eat them but for some reason he wouldn't!)
