Branding

Something I looked forward to doing with Jonathan every year was branding and dehorning calves. I had never done anything like this, and luckily was able to do it a handful of times with him between their own calves and helping others brand theirs. I seriously thought is was so fun, don't ask me why. I loved the company and watching Jonathan work. I also loved being outside all day and just sending the calves through the chute, it's pretty fun to watch. Jonathan always let me try, or more helped me doing a branding on a few calves and also let me de-horn a few. Super fun times that I really miss doing that with him too! Whenever it starts to get branding season, I always want to go find someone branding their calves so I can watch, I probably wouldn't be the same because Jonathan is not there, but still reminds me of him whenever I see branding sessions going on.
