BRANDING FOALS IN THE CHUTE | A MONSTER FOAL GOES HOME

[@stevescoville8465]

So impressed, you guys breed not only just plain beautiful horses but they have such good minds. Watching that baby get loaded into the trailer so calm and not having a tantrum was awesome. The way you guys treat each other with so much respect and love is inspiring. Thanks for the videos 👏

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

Thank you for your kind words Steve! Glad to have you along 😊

[@amandamilobooks]

Everyone who is hardcore "only freeze branding is humane!" should see this, how QUICKLY AND PAINLESSLY it can be done. No need to hold the iron against the skin for 20 FULL seconds (or more), no messed up brands, no need to apply the iron twice, AND these were mostly roan coats to boot, which are notorious for being tricky canvases for freeze brands. This hot-iron work was absolutely amazing! Hats off to your skills and huge congrats on your gorgeous crop of foals!

[@Rebecca-fu5hg]

For freeze branding you have to hold the brand on longer to kill the hair folicles and the recovery/ healing time is actually longer. These babies are not branded as heavy as cattle, just enough to get the ID on them that is required by the state of AZ if horses are running in rangeland.

Horse skin is actually thinner than human skin. Their epidermis that is. So they have less epidermis between their nerve endings than we do. So they are probably more sensitive to pain.

Morning from S. Carolina. I love watching Lincoln herding the cows a bit. He has that natural instinct bred into the breed. I have a 6 month old female right now who is a Service Dog in training. That red Roman foal is a beauty. I really like the Roman coloration in the foals you have in this crop. Is the Sire a roan or does he just carry the gene? You had already told me that Monster was not the Sire of this crop. Looking forward to seeing his foals next year. That Buckskin Roman foal is beautiful. Will be quite the stunner grown up.

Great group of babies the little guy loaded up in the trailer like he had done it all his life instead of his second time.

I think she was third in the chute, Hensen said something about her when she was in the chute but I didn't catch what he said. Thanks for sharing today's adventure with us.

[@PaintedDesertRanch]

not by Monster. Henson said... “mama’s a roan, daddy’s a bay...”

[@suzanneyoung8011]

@@PaintedDesertRanch I would suggest checking that foal's DNA to verify parentage. One of the parents has to carry the cream gene to be able to produce a buckskin. Usually roans don't carry that. Maybe your bay stallion is really a smoky black which carries the cream gene, but is hard to detect in a dark bay horse without color typing it. Either way, you may want to investigate that one a little more, and also test the sire and dam for their true color also. Is it possible Trigger got to this mare? A palomino can throw a buckskin because they both have the cream gene. Just FYI, the cream gene expressed on a bay coat produces a buckskin, and the cream gene expressed on a sorrel/chestnut is what produces a palomino color.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

@@suzanneyoung8011 A phenotypical "roan" mare can carry cream and still appear as a roan. Bred to a bay she can produce a buckskin.

[@suzanneyoung8011]

@@DoubleDogDare54 I've studied horse color genetics. I haven't seen anything about this listed specifically on UC Davis's website, which is the university that has done extensive research into color genetics in horses and has developed many tests to identity the various color types and combinations of color types in horses. I'm not saying this doesn't happen or that you're incorrect, but that it would be extremely rare to breed a buckskin foal from a roan mare and a bay stallion. Roan is usually a dominant gene. A true buckskin will result from one of the parents carrying a cream gene. I haven't yet read anything about a roan horse also carrying a cream gene. Maybe it's there and I missed it. A bay horse, particularly a brown or dark bay horse may carry a cream gene which makes it technically a smoky black, but the effect of that gene on a bay horse is very hard to detect if at all in its own coloration. It's possible that the foal that appears now to be a light buckskin will actually roan out, in which case it would need to be registered as a roan. I'm just saying that this occurrence is so rare, that if I was either the seller or the buyer of this foal, I would want to have its parentage DNA verified, and I would submit pictures and a sample to have its color type tested by UC Davis or by some other reputable firm that does it. If I were the buyer I would especially want to know that if I intended to use the horse in a breeding program.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

​@@suzanneyoung8011 Google up pictures of buckskin roans. If you look at them, they look like buckskins. Most people would not be picky about calling them buckskins. And there are lots of photos, so they aren't hen's teeth. If the mare was a roan/cream cross and the sire was bay, I ran the possibilities through one of those online calculators and can up with a 17.whatever percent chance the foal would be buckskin. So, maybe the foal is buckskin, maybe it is a buckskin that will roan out to some degree. But it looks buckskin and that ties in with what the J/hearts called it.
