Okay. Here are some pics of my vacation. Yes, I did fly, and I arrived safely. No thanks to the stanky guy sitting beside me on the flight, try standing a little closer to the soap, pal.
Anywhoo.
So, it's branding time in Alberta.
I took pics.
Here they are. I suppose some commentary will be required, so.
In the spring, ranchers brand all the new calves. While they're at it, they also immunize them, tag their ears, and cut the balls off the boys. All in a days work for these boys, and hey, real cowboys wear baseball caps >;]
The above pictured are the unsuspecting victims. The following pics are the Perpetrators.
Dick, working when he's ninety...hope I will be this energetic. Granted, the man can work cattle all day, but watch him try to haul his ass out of a deck chair...haha!
Ray, time to make the donuts :)
These are working horses. They are professional, highly trained and very good at their jobs. They have to be, they do all the hard work :P
Left over right, or was it right over left....:P
Gotcha!
Been doing this for 50 years. Makes it look easy as pie :)
Just 179 left to go....
Having an off day. Frisky, spirited animal that doesn't want to work today. Same goes for the horse :P
I don't care what they say, this has gotta hurt :/
I think they are planning on replacing branding by switching to using microchips. I hope so, ASAP, but in the meantime, life goes on, and the valuable animals that feed us need to be kept track of.
Do NOT pick me!!!
This is me on Blackberry. She works way harder than I do :P
Blackberry...taking stock.
Haulin' in the goods.
I don't wanna, don't make meeeeeeee..
Well, doesn't this just suck donkey balls. OUCH!
Having ones balls removed. At least the girl doing it is pretty :)
I guess my daily quota for pics has been reached.
More later.
