Saturday was our annual branding for the calves and it was the quickest branding I can remember. Gotta give credit and thanks to the two excellent ropers Les and Del!
A few pictures I’ll post here but the majority you’ll find at my flickr site.
These are my two nephews Dezmond and Mikey. Mikey’s throwing the calf.

Lee, a long time friend, jumps right in… unfortunately he also fell right over!
Lee and the calf hit the ground at the same time.

Hubby brands a calf alongside his brother Doug (right) and friend Jeff (left).
It was a great day with wonderful weather, lots of helping hands, and excellent food.
We finished up quite early and all headed over to Grandma’s for lunch. I cooked a ton of sausage rolls and about 3 dozen cabbage rolls (one day I should blog my recipe). Two friends fighting over who was going to take home the few cabbage rolls left made me feel good LOL!
