Branding, cows to hills

 
 
 
 
We helped brand calves and take cows to the hills. P was riding Copper and he got in some nice warm dirt and rolled. P was a little freaked out I made him get back on and then get off after a while and then a few miles down the road he was ready to ride again. Yeah. J and I took turns driving and riding it worked really well when B woke up I fed him and drove and when he was asleep J drove. The kids only wantedd to ride when Dad was. D is the photgrapher of the kids on horses. They branded when B was just a week and a half old so I mostly sat in the van and fed him but I did get to rope a few. It took along time to catch, sorry Tate, because I am so very rusty, but it was fun still. I love springtime for a few of these reasons.

that sounds like so much fun!! I've been to the branding but I've never had the chance to drive cows. Is that M in the pink coat? She looks so adorable on that big'ole horse. :) Good for P for getting back on! :)
PS - We want more pictures of B!!
