The Ranch Expericence

We're alive and well and have weathered our first Wyoming winter! We've come out of hybernation and so, on the first beautiful Saturday, we headed south about 2 hours to a small town called Ten Sleep. About ten minutes from there, we drove to the foot of this mountain where we were invited to do some ranching. (WARNING: Some pictures may contain gruesome content...proceed at your own risk).

First order of the day...get to know the victims.

Pretend they're gonna have a wonderful time.

Hussle them around a little to let them know who's boss.

Guide them through the tunnel while whispering sweet nothings.

Give them last minute instructions, and then...

WHAMO!
They got branded, castrated and vaccinated all within maybe 2 minutes time.

Yep! That's me...vaccinating them in the neck. I'll try anything once!

Brandon was taught how to castrate (with rubber bands).




David prostrated, Brandon castrated, and I vaccinated. What a team! Word got around and we've been scouted for a branding at another friend's ranch in a few weeks.

Sorry, but if you come visit us this summer, all the branding and fun will have already been done, so we'll look for something else for you to do. We could take you through a slaughter house...

So, what do you think of Keith Urban (music)?

About as country as I can get for this blog!
