We branded the calves last Saturday. It took us all morning to cut out the animals and we finally started the long task after lunch. Dad and I ran the chute and worked on the animals. We had Nellie and Philip in the back pushing the calves up the alley. And when Julie wasn't at the water cooler or asking for her 15 minute breaks, she was pushing the calves into the chute. We tormented Julie all day about her many years of government work. Nellie got kicked by one of the calves and Julie told her to file for workmans comp. Bracken and Kristi would show up every once in a while to make sure everything was still running smooth. Finally at seven o'clock with eyes and lungs full of dust we finished.
I took these pictures with my cell phone while we brought in the cows. Bentley and Olivia helped out with his four wheeler.
Here is Kristi on one of her supervisory trips, holding up both Julie and Nellie's work.
