Branding calves on a hot Arizona afternoon... and the generator stops working!

Join us as we brand a few calves on some young horses with a fun crew... until the generator stops working.
Using horses: Mighty Eagle, Czar, Stellar, Fancy, & Valentine.

Jerry, I think you are amazingly patient with the young cowboys. Daniell and Henson are so encouraging. Jason riding mighty eagle makes my heart soar. Another wonderful family ranching video. Thank you for sharing. Horses as always do their job well.🤠❣❣❣😇

[@laneclah7550]

I love the way you guys work with them cattle very exciting something always good happening everytime I'm glad too be on this channel 🤘👍

[@debbycolflesh7892]

I love the name Mighty Eagle. Dust bath must feel good 😊.

[@bonniewooters6796]

👍👍👍. Awesome video watching the kids gettin involved and horses on their first smaller roundup while on training. Am surprised someone didn’t roundup that dang generator and take it out in the desert to a junk pile where it belongs. Though the videos ending was special for the kids and their treats and definitely brought the memories of when my kids did the same while learning to ride. A lot of work for mom but sure does teach the kids about animals and the work it takes to own and operate a large ranch. And safety too. Love the longer video and loved your new cameragirl cus she did amazing. Days are long and heat is bad but somehow we manage to get work done and definitely sleep real good. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Yes! The kids slept well that night! Thank you for your comment 🤗 and thank you for watching!!

[@lauratew2945]

Fancy's first calf had a lot to say! Beautiful video, love seeing what you do!

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

I was thinking the same thing! 😂 and Thank you!!

[@rachelpotter2247]

I love the longer videos. Could watch you for hrs. You guys are amazing at what you do thank you for sharing your life and farm with us. Living my dream thru KZbin lol. I'll comment again after I watch the whole video..

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Haidyn, does great camera work, tell her we enjoyed her video. I suspect most generators are made in China. Champion is built in China to Champion USA specifications and is rated most reliable. But as you well know, any machine can fail and any horse can buck. Good to see your subscribers coming up. You have a great channel.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

I will tell her, & thank you, we love all the new subs 😁

[@dieselcowboy9186]

Thank you for sharing! I feel the frustration on the generator, I’m glad you didn’t cut that part out, people need to know, everything has to be tough to make it out in the beautiful desert! Have a great day.

[@suzie9905]

Love it!! That pony is so cute. Your little boy looks so proud riding him..

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

That day was the first day he rode all by himself, he WAS so proud! 😊

[@suzie9905]

He's ready 😄 The other little cowboy, he's really ready for small bomb proof like horse. Love watching your channel..

I've been sick withCovid for the last 2 weeks and have been binge watching your videos. To me the most precious horse on your ranch is "Mighty Eagle." To me there just isn't a better teacher for your son than he is. 😀

[@vivianwinford3681]

That is the cutest ranch pony ever. Great size for that little cowboy. 💘 🇺🇸

[@robertandkarendouglas7486]

Just found your channel a couple days ago, loving it. Grew up on a ranch in Montana, my first horse was a welsh pony. Dad would cross the Welsh studs with quarter horse mares and get a mid size horse that would work for you all day long. RD

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Glad you found us Robert thanks for watching!!

First time to your channel.. Like watching you work. My mom grow up working cattle she gave it up when she got married so we kids never got the opportunity to try it.

Muy buen video me gusto like 👍

[@shawnslaugh]

Makes sense. Bull calfs is what I'm saying. Saw you cut your bull calfs and branded them. Our calves we ship in utah we don't have to brand. Makes sense now. Thanks

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Ok. Another thing is when we sell freezer beef etc... a brand is required as well.

[@shawnslaugh]

@@PaintedDesertRanch that is good to know. Crazy were not far from you guys.

I’m sure it stings for a little but it’s for the greater good. I’m so glad you’re learning 😎

If you're big enough to put on your own chaps you're big enough to have a full size horse.

He’s getting a bigger horse soon, stay tuned.

[@annejackson4847]

I like watching you guys.just a question from a city slicker.when you cut the nuts of the young bulls do you need to tie the connecting tissue or just let it heal on it's own.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

It heals on its own. Thanks for watching!!

Where did y’all get nordforks from

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

They’re all over the internet nowadays. Etsy, e-bay...

[@delbertjimson2929]

👍🏽

[@TruthSeeker-ee8tj]

Is the longer application time for the brand compared to the foals due to it being an electric brander vs a heated branding iron or is it due to horses vs cattle hide? We have cattle we are needing to brand for the first time, they have short hair coats however Senepol. The quick branding of the horses doesn't seem too bad, can you brand cattle that quick?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Hide. No- cattle take longer

[@jimvaught398]

Check the oil

[@jheartquarterhorsesaz]

Yeah did that still no start. Thanks

Hi. We don’t do refreshers. $800/30 rides, minimum of 90 rides for colt starting.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Enough to feed our herd

[@ktgodwin100]

How come it takes so much longer for the iron to be on the calves as opposed to when you brand your foals?

[@jillwisland680]

Probably thicker hair, and hide.

When Jasper grows out of Mighty Eagle will Brooks ride him? ❤️🤍💙

[@shawnslaugh]

Why are you guys branding what your cutting bull wise? We tag but don't waste time branding if they're going to sale soon.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

It’s Arizona state law, they must be branded. I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to ask about bulls.

[@shawnslaugh]

@@PaintedDesertRanch bull calves saw you branded your bull calves you cut. We actually don't brand anything we sell unless we're holding back for replacement. But that makes sense didn't know AZ made you. Utah doesn't. Thanks
