Howdy all! I thought that with the summer coming soon, I should catch up a little on the happenings around here! This last month was branding season in Nebraska. We attended two brandings, one for the Masco's (our branch president) and one here at work. Brandings are a lot of fun and lot of work... so here are some pics of our fun times!
The sister's came to help out - they were in charge of cooking on the cowboy grill - Yummy!
Jeremy is always on branding duty... maybe next year he will get to do what I got to do at our ranch's branding...
ROPE! Jim let me rope for the first time on horseback! It was so fun! I caught 6 - I think - and I definitely want to do it again!
After they are roped, you drag them to the muggers - the boys on the ground wrestling them and then you brand, give shots and band them (if they are a boy!)
After a few tries, I finally got one just right... you are supposed to catch both back feet and this time I did! I was very proud of myself!

Sounds like you'd be ready to dominate at this year's Steele Family Rodeo. Are you going to make it, by any chance? Would love to see you!
