April 2011

Here's the latest!  Milo has aged another three months and a few other things have happened.  April marked the end of calving and the beginning of spring.  Here are some picture of this year's calf crop being branded.  It was a great crew and the weather was good.  This year there were enough ropers that we were able to leave the rope on the heals and only had to hold the head.

Brock holds the head while Duane brands.  Shot givers here are Jordana Nesvog and Hana Klosterman.

The coffee break crew!  Front to back: Hattie Lerwick, Kosha Lerwick, Megan Lerwick and Carol Johnson.

Four at a time!  The ropers were showing their stuff at this point.  R-L wrestlers are Landon Lerwick, John Miller and Brock.  Mike Klosterman (father of Hana) is between John and Brock.  Stuart Hoar's daughter Riata is the roper against the gate.  Stuart has been roping at our branding for almost ten years now and is a big reason why we went back to roping.
