The Minion - Richard's baby[/caption] It isn't all about knives at this time of year. It's our calving season and ranch work takes precedence. Richard tries to keep The Minion busy while he is out in the pastures. Multi-tasking is a new concept for the man with a one-track mentality.

This little guy is truly unique. Over the years we've had many different markings and colors but never such a "Blockhead".
This heifer needed a 'midwife' to finish the job. Richard gets that role as he is stronger and I prefer he get goopy rather than I.
And he gets the stinky job of branding the 2 new little bulls. Windy days and jumpy livestock do not make for pretty brands. 
Brand is as close as we could get to Richard's signature Skull & Crossbones.[/caption]
