Branding at Black Mesa

We branded most of the calves earlier this year out at the ranch west of town but we still had a few to brand at Black Mesa. It was a hot day so it was nice that there weren't as many to brand this time. Brig & Kanton had fun helping do the big tough cowboy jobs! I always take so many pictures on branding day and I can't ever decide which to post...here are a few....

Kanton really wanted to sit on this post even though it was hurting his extremely bony bootie

Brig was pretty excited that he got to hold the rope tied to the calf
