Awww!! Theyre sayin "mama they burnt my bootie"!!! I love that grulla foal!! Was that a red dun I saw?! What a nice lookin bunch of foals!!! God bless!!

[@danfields3341]

I've seen and watched alot of horse brandings, from the Northwest to your part of the country... by far you guys have figured it out, the foals have a considerable better experience than two year olds getting roped and thrown or crowded into a wedge pen... yours walk out like no big deal...Bueno

[@pamelamoreno4657]

Such sweet babies, braver than I would be. I love watching these foals. Never gets old.

[@travissmith6551]

We used to hold a blunt stick in that area. Take away the stick and replace with the branding iron. They barely even notice. Good job guys!

[@ellimae1548]

Such great looking horses...love the way the horses are raised...

Look at the hip on that 2nd bay! Momma they hurt my boody. Nice colt the boy was chasing down the lane. Love the grey. Wouldn’t mind having him. Sweet bay. Nice group of mares and babies. ❤️💋🐾🐾🐎🐂

I cant say enough about your breeding program Painted Desert Ranch sure has some realy nice babies with lots of color, I wish I lived closer so I could see them in life, but my age is creeping up and I dont train anymore, I really like your videos, Thank U for sharing, Navajos are some sure nuff Cowboys and Cowgirls, I ran barrels against some tuff ones in the early 80s Those Jackson girls were tuff on the barrels!!!!

[@patriciacunningham5472]

For the little time you spend handling your foals, they are so gentle! You guys are breeding quality!❤️🤍💙

[@craziedaisy1499]

I think it says a lot too about the quality of bloodlines they are breeding and the minds they have. Love to have one of their foals one day!

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

When I see a damn good horse that is good at their job and has a nice clean JHeart brand on it… the last thing on my mind is “ugly”. It’s ok for us all of us to have opinions.

Gosh you know I've been subscribed for a couple months now. Not even sure how your channel got recommended. I've loved horses all my life and grew up always loving the true old out west living was and you being Navajo WOW. Your family still living this amazing way just has me in awe with every video. You guys work so hard. And honestly to me you guys are living the American Dream.... In God's beautiful country! I did live on a couple ranches growing up but kept going back to the city life. So now I will continue my dream on your channel.

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Nice video. Hope it rains on you. My local preacher said one time, ya'll here on Sunday morning praying for rain and, nobody has an umbrella or raincoat. Have you no faith?

Bummer I will watch for them👍

[@jimcraig5208]

I've never seen that done to colts

[@catherinehubbard1167]

What is the brand on their rear near the tail? Why is it added? These baby horses are muscular, healthy and well on the way to being easy with humans from previous handling. I love the kindness you lavish on them, teaching them trust and calming their fear. They are physically comforted before and during the branding and then brought back to their mothers. What could be a painful, terrifying ordeal is reduced to a forgettable brief sting. Their training is an integral part of their rearing from the start and works with their bloodlines to produce smart, gentle, reliable working horses. And they are all beautiful. No wonder these horses are sought all over the country. Respect to your family.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

They’re numbers. They help us identify the foals to the mamas at registration time

It’s 53 acres per cow/calf pair, a horse is half of that.

[@jimcraig5208]

Do all of your horses have numbers on their rear flank?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

They all have numbers on their rear but not on their flank

[@slamminsam6xoxo]

It’s probably traumatizing for the horses when the herd gets broken up and the babies leave. I guess in the wild babies do leave and find other herds in the wild. Just makes me sad thinking they take the babies from the moms.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

In all species, babies leave their mamas.

[@FaithWRanch]

Do these brands last the life of the horse? I've seen people leave the iron on the skin longer with cows. I have a horse that is/was branded. It seems to be fading.

[@Lara-234]

Horses have thinner skin

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

You have some beautiful youngsters! I noticed you have a lot of the solids along with some roans and palominos. Do you have duns in your breeding program also?

I'm city girl wanna be country girl that LOVES your videos 😃 Question 1.. do you let your horse's rome free? I'm wondering why the branding. Question 2... do you keep all the horses that you brand? What do you use them for? The number 109... what is the significance of branding numbers? Just curious city girl questions 🤔🐎🐴🐎🐴🐃🐄🐃👵🙋🏇

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Our horses roam free on a couple of sections in each pasture- a section=640 acres. No, we don’t keep them all, almost all are for sale. All foals get numbers, they help us identify the babies to the mamas. Thank you for your city girl questions- we are happy to help educate everyone who is genuinely curious about the #cowboyculture 💪🏼

[@larrymorris9260]

Thanks I just started following your channel and don’t know everyone’s names. I’m a retired firefighter and run some cattle here in Texas. I also ride Quarter horses and compete in ranch sorting. Another interesting fact is we can run a pair here on 3-4 acres.

Hello how early can you brand a foal and what size brand

As early as you want I guess… we brand them starting about 3 months old.

Our brand is 2”

[@wildfox8524]

Sorry if this is damn questions but why do brand your horses?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

It’s Arizona state law. And it helps us identify our horses.

[@wildfox8524]

Oh thx so much love your videos♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jimevenson6956]

What are the numbers for on the rump?

[@ferrishyserman7129]

Why do you brand some on the side and others on the rear

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

They all get a JHeart and a number on the rear... we just don’t video every single one

[@johnmadrid5265]

What does the numbers brand signify

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

They identify the babies to the mamas

[@ferrishyserman7129]

Why do you wear long sleeve shirts in the summer

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

#cowboyculture I guess. When you work a long hard day in the dirt and sun it just makes sense. We’re in the sun everyday for at least 10 hours a day in the summer. Nobody wants skin cancer 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AllyTaylor1]

Why don’t people numb it before branding?

[@danamixer3946]

It would take longer to do that and lidocaine (standard numbing agent used in people) burns/hurts as much. Best to use the bandaid theory do it quick.

[@424stormygirl]

Honest Question, why do you put your brand on a horse you are selling to someone else?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

It’s Arizona State law

[@tillmanhenderson8054]

On your butt brands? What do the numbers represent, and how do you choose the numbers?

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Identifies the babies to the mamas, start at 100 and go up from there.

[@ToeTag1968]

Probably a stupid city boy question; why do you brand foals that are likely going to be sold? Wouldn't the new owners want to claim them with their own brand (or not brand them at all perhaps)? The only thing I could think of was that maybe it's more of a "maker's mark" than a property tag. Thanks!

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Good question actually! We brand every foal that leaves the ranch. We have been working on our breeding program for about 30 years... we are proud of our stock and hope those that buy from us are proud to own a #JHeart too 😁

you should brand each foal twice to inflict more pain!

I usually enjoy your vids, but WHY in God's name do you hot brand them?!? Do you realize how traumatic that is? Have you ever been branded? Freeze branding is so much less painful and traumatic.

[@drpepper5709]

Freeze branding is not painless. Some people that put a freeze brand on will drug the horse so they stand still because you have to hold the iron on longer for it to take. Put some dry ice on your skin it burns like fire.

[@angus9941]

I freeze brand 150 registered heifers a year. Anyone who says it is painless hasn’t done many. 1/2 second with hot iron at that age makes perfect brand on colts. Good video.
