Saturday was the final day of the roundup and branding. My mom has a detailed post on her blog describing the day's adventures along with photos. Below I've posted some of the photos I captured as well as a video of Dan wrangling a calf in the branding corral. I'll post more videos tomorrow. My role during the branding this year was (very amateur) videographer. Mom and Aunt Mary had their fancy cameras and got right in there in the corral to take hundreds of photos throughout the day. It was a lot of fun, as always. Every time we attend a roundup, I think about what a special experience it is since this way of life is fast disappearing.
(Sorry for the clicking sound in this video...my camera's auto-focus kept making noises.)

Hank is such a sweet horse. He didn't participate in the roundup this year (too young), but his corral (with him still in it!) was used as a holding pen for some of the cows, so he got to be part of the action.
I took this photo when the cows had just been pushed into the corral. They were glaring at us.
