Spring branding at the Flake ranch

Hello friends,
 
To all that came out and participated in the branding, I want to thank and commend you. The cattle were handled appropriately, the attitudes were phenomenal, and the work got done with some decorum! 
To all of you that didn't make it, you missed out on a beautiful and rewarding day. The branding was a tremendous success! No one was hurt, no stock was hurt and everybody became more well rounded while they had a big time!!!
I especially want to thank Maggie and Bill Flake for being such gracious hosts and for entrusting myself and Jay Hillman with their spring herd work. I believe this is going to become an annual event that will soon become very talked about in this region!
