Re: Cow Country
Some pics from a branding today. About a mile from home. Branding irons in the fire, and Badger with some roped and held. Beautiful day, we branded 70 yearlings with a big crew. BBQ pork supper afterwards for all. Good times. Cattle were big, heavy, VERY lively and a real handful to rope. We head and heel them, and take them to the fire. Old timey way of doing it. Some real good cowboys there. One guy ropes the head, then get your horse going at a brisk trot to the fire, once close enough, the 2nd guy ropes both back legs.

Re: Cow Country
Here's what cowboy life looked like before the world turned colors....I like it better. Badger sure is a nice rope horse, he really knows his job. Later this week I have to move several hundred cow/calf pairs, Dakota will be the go to horse that day. Badger gets time off for good behavior.

Re: Cow Country
Today they just got brands and ear tags. They are already castrated. They are headed out to summer pasture soon at the Waldron Grazing Co Op. 75,000 acres of grass with a huge herd of share owners cattle.JEBar wrote:looks like you are getting Badger back into shape .... no ear tags for your outfit ..

Re: Cow Country
They do look big! When do they hit the ground in that cold part of the world?

Re: Cow Country
These are yearlings that did not get branded last year for whatever reason. About 450 lbs.

Re: Cow Country
In the late 70s, I spent a couple years working for the cattle industry. On a ranch/farm and then in a feedlot. We had to work calves one day and I was the designated pusher to get them into the headgate. I guess I got tired and careless, as the 50th and last calf planted both rear hooves under my chin. Yes, you really do see stars.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Last fall I took a hog to market and pushed him thru their system, wasn't payin attention and he "freshened" up my boot! Good thing I wasn't headed to church after!Re: Cow Country
