On Monday morning I was back in the saddle again helping brand calves on the Clawson Ranch near Sedan, Kansas. The Clawsons are good clients and even better friends of mine who allow me to relive my cowboy past at branding time. My roping was pretty mediocre but hey, I only get to practice a few times a year and my hand-eye coordination is about what you’d expect from someone my age.
