331/365

Shawna's family invited us to come watch their cattle branding today.  A few weeks ago I went to the Jackson Ranch to watch them do the same thing.  It will be fun to see the differences.

The mamas hung back waiting for their babies.

Standing in the back of the truck gave me a good view.

Branding was Nancy's job.  What you miss in a picture is the lovely smell of burning flesh.

The Jackson Circle Bar brand.

Bill grabbed the balls and Nancy banded them.  (I'd hide that little tool if I were you Bill!!)

Team work.

Finally reunited.
