Working cattle is something that happens every spring here. Once all the calves are born it is time to give vaccinations to the cattle and brand them. Our good friends ask David to participate and allow the girls and I to come watch. It is always a great family atmosphere, training the young generation in ranching. Kids are always welcome, whether they are old enough to participate or not. We want our kids to know what hard work is, and get some farming and ranching experience like David and I both did. After all the work was done, we were all fed a great meal.
Bentley made a new friend. Here they are standing on the corals looking at the calves.

This year Bria was not able to participate because she was in school. The following day they worked a few more calves and David was able to take Bria with him to be a part of it. She was so sad that she couldn’t attend the big day, but she did enjoy getting her own special time to go out and help.
