2013 Branding

We had a really busy 3 days.  Saturday we branded, Sunday was Mother's day & yesterday it was the reading awards/PE fun day at school.  I think 3 big days  deserve 3 blog posts!  Hopefully by the end of the week I will caught up on my blogging! 

Saturday was a beautiful day for branding.  A  little cool in the morning, but nice for the cattle.  It was a successful day.  I kind of felt like the Pioneer Woman.  I went out early & took pictures of the cattle drive then I went home to make food to help Marilyn feed the crew! 

All in all a great time was had by all!  I have a lot of pictures on the post as I do think a picture is worth 1000 words! 

Whitney's first branding.  She was not sure what to think of it all!

Kyle helping Aubree get saddled up and ready to ride her her first branding cattle drive.

Aubree & Cinnamon ready to go!

Jenae and Comanche waiting for the word it was time to head 'em & move 'em out!
Keith & Becky come every year from Minnesota to help out with the branding.

Hope & Trey ready for the cattle drive.

Whitney with me in the pickup waiting for the crew to get the cattle rounded up. 
I love how Aubree & Cinnamon are out in the middle of it all not really sure where to go.
 The cows are bigger than they are.


Kyle went & helped Aubree & Cinnamon get on track!



Chip leading the cattle out on the road. 

They finally got them out and got them headed home.

Brooke Ehlers & Jenae had lots of fun riding around. 

Time to move the cattle back to to the pasture. 

Aubree decided on the way home that she would get rid of her saddle.  She said it was much easier to ride bareback!

Aubree did so good riding Cinnamon.  By the end of the day she had him going exactly where she wanted him to go. 

I ended up walking most of the way to the pasture, just to be there in case Aubree needed some help getting Cinnamon going.  Bree jumped off to walk for a while & I hopped on Cinnamon.  It didn't stay on very long.  I felt bad riding the little guy!
