hello welcome to Kate's Ag so i have some super exciting news we're going to be going
to a branding our wonderful neighbor joyce field invited us to my dad and i are both going
yes it's going to be so fun
a branding happens so that you can mark your cow and it doesn't get mixed up with other cows
if something happens with the fence or you always know which cows are
yours so that's super important in ranching you're going to see
what a branding is like today it's going to be my first branding so i'm
really excited about that and also yours if it's your first branding you can watch with me
you got to see all the baby calves now they're old enough to be branded calves are baby cows
it's a pretty clear day so you can see the rocky mountains quite well
now the antelope are going by
right now we're separating the cows from the calves so that you can brand the calves
yes that was hard when it came
so it's like being on the horse cutting cows right yeah it's same thing
this is levi joyce's son hi

well thank you
oh most of the fencing and stuff that is here was made by my father chris that's
awesome
yeah they say a true test of marriage is
so now the calves are next because all the moms are away yep moms have been worked and
now we're going to bring in the baby calves dad and i are on the fence i'm always on the fence
this shoot was for the big cows and then this is for the cavs
this is what the cow goes in to separate the cow from the towel
