Smith generations in ascending order! All working together in the branding corral. Tucker, Kieth, & Rich. We were missing Lincoln, who wasn't home from college yet for all the times at home. He did make it home in time to go with them to Winner for that one though!
Just an overall view of the process - we had a very nice day this day - actually all 3 of the days that we branded at home here!
Had to pass the pretty chickens on the way to the barn too ...
One of the 3 brands we put on the babies - this one is ours
Then we have Tucker's
And then we have Lincoln's
I like the contrast of the very green new grass out there with the barn & the corrals
Another shot of the working process
Another shot of calves gets brought thru the barn & into the corrals as Kieth gets a count
Tucker at work
Rich - at 91 - still gets into the act with helping in the branding work!We branded 3 times at home & once at Winner this year. So I cooked the big branding meal 3 times in a 10 day period - got that down pretty much to a science! Our last one was on the 6th of May here at home & the 9th in Winner so it feels good to have all of that done! Now the guys are still going to lots of neighbors to help with theirs.
Yep... it's officially springtime on the western plains!!!

We sure enjoyed the boys' help at dad's branding on Sat. So good to see all three of them!
