Some Branding Shots 

Absolutely correct Pat. Having heeled thousands of calves, I hate to waste a throw. My dad taught me 60 years ago that good heelers are the ones who can walk and chew gum at the same time. Smaller loops, keep the swinging to a minimum, help your fellow heelers and have your horse working with you. Excellent video, thank you.

Everybody needs this education it's about edicate and respect thanks

Thanks Pat and Deb for the roping lesson. Here in South Carolina we don't do much branding.

Always a joy to watch and listen to you. Your experience being shared in an easy to understand format . Thank you sir. From Emmett Idaho

Thank you Pat and Deb from New Zealand.

Great advice about getting out of the way and helping your roping partner, I have been to brandings where you were pretty much on your own. If a guy is roping on a young horse sometimes they need a little more room coming to the fire, so don't crowd the horse.

Great job and the last part about helping your partner is getting lost most have no savvy

Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Love your videos Pat! How about sharing your thoughts on roping dummies like the ones in your videos versus commercial ones? Thanks!

love this video! I have trouble in the branding pen with catching the feet but loosing them when I turn to drag calves out, what tips do you have for that.

Pat, this is unrelated, but ... there are times when you bump the fore feet out before mounting. Why?

Enjoyed this video very much. Are ya'll going to make a video on setting up shots for your partner?

What type of nylon rope are you using? brand, stiffness etc.?

Drives me crazy to see him coil his rope backwards. His hands should meet palm to palm, not turning his hand over. Much faster. Also all the rope swinging is nonsense, if you have to rope a lot of calves just one swing and a throw works best. I have roped 20,000 calves so I guess I am opinionated.
