Shots

Posted on May 18, 2018May 17, 2018

Making progress here.  Went to work today and survived, though I didn’t physically work very hard.  We’re still reorganizing the offices, so I sorted drawers and pitched old manuals for old computers and exciting “junk” that seems to pile up.

I know it should be Throwback Thursday… but Brandon had his branding with his leased cows last night… and I went and took pictures.  I wore a face mask and avoided everyone… so if you could indulge me, I’d appreciate it.  Time for Branding Photos!!!

I know I have lots of questions to answer, as well, and I will get to that post soon, I promise.

I also know some people aren’t fans of brandings… and that’s ok.  If you’d like to leave, you may.

Around here, brandings are still necessary.  They are also hard work.  So much hard work that our family (even though there are tons of us!), can’t do it alone.  You call your friends.  You call your neighbors.  They come to help you out, because they know we will reciprocate.  They get paid with a good meal and a fun time.  Yes, you’re working hard, but you’re teasing each other… visiting and catching up on their lives, sometimes there’s pranks – or wrestling – or a stray mark of chalk down a back… but it’s fun.  Why make hard work miserable unless you’re in prison????

Here are a few shots I liked.

    I always loved brandings. And there’s no better feeling than the hot shower after everything’s done. Thanks for the pictures.

    the boot in stirrup seems to be getting most of the mail, but what about other boot? Why does it not show in the stirrup seen under the horse’s belly?
    plus this rider has on very clean looking jeans …. been promoted from drag ‘n flank to sitting on a horse watching the show?

    Great close-ups and action shots. (boot with the spurs is my favorite, too)
    Glad you are feeling better!

    Love these black and white photos! The soft light of the boot in the stirrup shot is really pretty.
