Howdy Partners!
This weekend we celebrated Memorial Day by enjoying a good old fashioned country dance and a real cowboy, horse roping branding. Saturday night the Haywaddies played at the Circle C Days in Cody, NE. Cowboys and cowgirls were twirling their stuff. It still amazes me that no one ever falls over from all that twirling!
Sunday we headed to the Box L Ranch to help the Voss family brand and partying down. It is always a fun and crazy time! Sunday they got rained out and just had to keep themselves entertained by playing a marathon poker game, not to mention drinking most of the branding day beer. So on Monday a list was made and more ice and beer were brought. Food galore and desserts, what can I say but there was a whole table of desserts!
The rain made for gumbo ranch roads with no 2 wheeled traffic at all and barely 4 wheel travel made it to the hunting lodge we stayed at. Our vehicle had large amounts of the Box L realestate on it as we left slip sliding away.
These folks work darn hard and were branding the last hour in the rain. I couldn't tell the black calves from the cowboys and cowgirls wrestling them as the cowboys roped and dragged the calves in.
