Branding
I took Amy and Sara's kids out to Bob's farm Saturday morning to watch the branding/castrating and tagging process. At first the kids said it was too noisy but eventually they got brave enough to sit on the fence.
The gentleman on the right is Bob's neighbour and the surgeon? Believe it or not the calves complain more about the branding than they do about the castration!
Bob is very good about explaining what is going on and is very patient with the kids (and me) this apparatus saves the guys from having to wrestle the calf to the ground and saves their aging backs.
