This boy has been looking forward to branding day for a very long time. He is the youngest member of the team but "works" just as hard as the rest. He is a professional with the whip and can push any amount of calves through the chute, just ask him. It was a beautiful day with temperatures reaching low 80's, everyone came home with a nice sunburn.
Out of all the grandsons on the Crapo side; Nate and Cole are really the only two interested in the cows. Nate is becoming pretty handy with the horse and wanted to try his hand with the rope. He threw a nice loop and caught a calf on the first try. Too bad the calf was huge and Nate was on foot. We all had a good laugh watching him try to get the rope off.
Nate and Cole spent the whole day standing at the ally pushing calves through. They fought over the hot shot and whips and took plenty of Pepsi breaks. Cole also spent a fair amount of time riding the horse around in the corrals. To him it was better than a trip to Disneyland!
I had to throw in a picture of Hagen, he tagged along with me and Grandma and the feed wagon, but loved just observing all that was going on!
