#farming #ranch #branding
In this video we take you through what a day of branding looks like for us. We just have a very small crew for branding anymore. It used to be that branding would last a whole weekend, basically a huge party but we have gotten away from that since 2020.
It takes us a couple of hours longer to brand but not a week to get ready for company like it used to.
Why do we still brand? Beyond tradition, there are still people who would steal cattle and having a brand ensures that they wouldn't be able to sell them for money at market. Also, if our cattle get mixed up with the neighbours at some point and their ear tags fall out we can easily identify which animals belong to who.
For our cattle here, it is their one bad day.
Thanks to our daughter Corbin and Glen’s mom Dianne for taking video for me today. It’s pretty hard to film when you have a crew waiting on you. 😅
Thanks for watching,
Annette
