Hall Ranch Branding 2011

Today was branding day on the Hall Ranch. The weather was beautiful and everyone was in good spirits. It is a lot of hard work, but also a celebration of a successful calving season.

Joe & Greer run the calf table while Don Hall brands the JH on the calves:

I watched the little guy below and his twin sister being born. He has gotten a lot bigger since then, but just as cute! It was really exciting for me to see a cow have a set of twins.

When they let the calves go, Maya said, "All done!"

The kids did really well. This was the first branding for Gabi & Maya. Of course Gabi had a zillion questions, but we're used to that! :)
