This past weekend my parents branded calves-it's a family affair. My sisters and brother and their families were all there. Along with Brian, who is a 3rd cousin of ours that likes to come to the farm and help out with the branding. They planned everything for Sunday, but the weather forecast was calling for rain all day. So they started on Saturday afternoon and finished up on Sunday. There's a lot that goes into getting cows and calves ready to move to pasture. Everybody worked really hard!
The not-so-fun part was that I had to stay home on Saturday with Cooper since he was sick, but Kevin and the boys went over to help. Cooper had a pretty high fever again. Well on Sunday Kevin offered to stay home with Cooper so that I go over and see my family.
I took Cooper to the doctor on Monday, and he has double ear infection and infected tonsils again. He had this same thing less than a month ago. He is on a stronger antibiotic now, so hopefully that will take care of it!
My helpers in the pickup, we had to lead the herd. Aubree was upset because she saw her mom and wanted to be with her.
The cows/calves all worked, branded and sorted and ready to be moved to pasture.
They moved down the road without any problems
Practice roping
Tyson wanted to take a picture of Jenae, looks like she had the same idea
