We were holding the herd with help from Ben, the dog. Whom I might add only came with us because his owner said "Go help her" :)
Good Morning Friends,
Just wanted to check in this morning and jot down some of my thoughts on the weekend. My mind was running wild last night when we finally made it home from branding. So many things to be thankful for!!! Here is a quick trip through the hundreds of miles that we drove to spend a few days in Nevada.
Sun setting on the day as we are reaching our final destination.
Mom, Rita, and I met up along the trail and made the trek to Adaven, Nevada.

3:30 am the alarm clock would go off and start a nice day of gathering &Head'n and Heelin' baby calves!
Everything was brought to the fire to receive a brand, shots, and an ear mark.
They put on a great branding and it was a honor to be there!

Sittin a top a fine horse with a good dog on a beautiful sunshine day.
Doesn't get much better than that!
Even the trucking part was fabulous. Warm sunshine looking over the whole land and green grass pushing up through desert floor!Pictured above ~ Hauling cattle to the north ranch.
Getting acquainted with the water hole.
