whether we are branding or not, but I mam betting we won’t. I just checked the rain gauge and it shows 2 1/2 inches! Cindy said the roads are fine and you can see where water ran down the edges, but it’s going to be pretty muddy on the dirt roads leading in to where the branding was to take place. So I am setting and waiting on a call to let me know.

Head on over to Sheridan. Come on! It’s Sheridan. And leather. And the Mint Bar. What could possibly go wrong???
Beats roping wet ol’ rips and getting all muddy for the effort.
Have fun.
We branded last year during a rain storm.
They put the forks away and had the ropers bring the calves in by the neck and on their feet to keep them dry. Towards the end of the day they were toweling the calves off so the brands would take. It was a miserable cold day be we got it done!
Lori, we have branded lots of wet calves in this country. Only problem with it is that your irons cool off quicker. Never blotched the brands or anything else we’d always heard of. Not fun but when you get a rain half way thru’ we sure hate to turn them out and re gather and re sort. Of course, this is sandy country.
I did go to Sheridan but spent way too much money!
