Day 1 of the Roundup

The roundup began this morning at the ranch. Dan and I will arrive tomorrow and take part on Days 3 and 4. Dan will join the guys on horseback to roundup cows and move them to the branding corral. Then on Day 4 they will do a final roundup and brand the calves. My role will be photographer and "general helper" for preparing and serving food. There will be 30+ people, so my mom has been cooking all week already. My mom took some great photos today which she posted to her blog. Here are a few of them:
