Season of Brandings


Andrew n Daraby hanging out at Thelander's branding. He wants to start her riding early. We will raise her to be tough.



This is our neighbor Diane on the paint horse pulling a calf to a couple wrestlers.



The calves have such a soft fuzzy look.


Here Andrew n Troy hold down a calf while it gets its' shots and brand.


One of the main reasons why I love living out west is the value of women and the role they live out on ranches. Out here it doesn't matter your gender- everyone works. My dad raised me to drive tractors and loaders and didn't question my ability because I was a girl. We were born to be tough and I'm grateful for the equality I was taught. I'm not a girl to sit in the house, cook and clean. I would rather be out on the tractor, horse or four wheeler. We both have the ability to work in the house so we split chores at home. We both cook, clean and organize. For us this is how it works- I would deck him if he ever told me my role in the home. :)
