There’s something special about a day spent working alongside friends, family, and neighbors.
This morning was our Spring Branding Day and we are so grateful for everyone who came out, lent a hand, and helped make the day a success. From sorting cattle, branding, and making a meal to share, there was plenty of work to be done but it was made lighter by the many hands willing to help.
A special thank you to our incredible roping team, C & C Horsemanship and Masters Equine, for bringing their horses and their skills. Watching good horsemen and good horses work cattle is always a reminder that some traditions are worth preserving.
One of our favorite parts of the day was seeing the kids involved. Whether they were helping where they could, asking questions, or simply watching and learning, they were getting a firsthand look at what goes into a branding. They are the future and if we don’t take the time to teach them these skills and values, who will? We believe there’s no better classroom than working alongside family, friends, and mentors.
After the work was finished, we gathered around the table to share a meal and enjoy the kind of conversation that seems to come easiest after a day of honest work.
Hard work. Good food. Good friends.
It takes a community, and we’re incredibly thankful for ours.
