Generally we brand about 100 head in the morning then we spend Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-76922088826620664042008-05-16T05:38:00.000-06:002008-05-16T05:38:00.000-06:00KarinHow many calves do you brand??
