Thanks for sharing.

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisgilbert2152]

Sonoma itch.. watching those kids working the cows is a fricken beautiful sight!

[@bettiewatson2949]

Very educational! Enjoyed watching this video , always learn something new!

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks so much!

[@barrymoring2314]

Good stuff! The cowboy way!

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching!

[@maryduncan618]

I just love watching everyone working together on the ranch and how you explain what they are doing !What a beautiful well laid out ranch you have built Jason ! I really do not know why people fuss about branding ! I heard someone say that they should all be micro-chipped, can you imagine!!

[@shotgunbettygaming]

I like how you changed it up with a bit of afterthought narration! Probably takes a lot of pressure off you in the moment to remember everything you want to cover or talk about. Plus you don't have everyone around you looking all wild eyed at what you're doing 😂 I get all awkward on other peoples live streams trying not to be Me (loud, chatty and full of stupid laughs) even though I've been doing my own for awhile, doing it in front of people who don't feels weird hahahaha!!🤣 This was a great video covering the whole process! I've always enjoyed your annual branding video, everybody does it differently around the country and y'all have a real nice way of doing things down there at Mendota. I appreciate that you heel 'em AND I love seeing ropers work! It's just one of those things, an Abrams tank firing, the TingTingTing of targets getting landed and a consistent heel shot....things that gets a girls attention! LOVED seeing the kids get involved, learning respect alongside Skills! Audrey is a great example for all those young'uns, always a pleasure to see her helping out! She's a good kid👍I'd be interested to know what she wants to study after High School, she shows a great deal of respect for whatever she's doing when we've seen her on screen. I could easily see her in animal medicine. Looking forward to the next video as always!

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you liked it! It was fun to try it this way and not talk constantly on the fly! She’s really interested in veterinary medicine! She’s a quick learner and hard working.

[@shotgunbettygaming]

@@themendotaranch It's settled then, Doc Audrey it is 😂 Little does she know that a total stranger across the country is plotting her Future🤣🤣

[@shotgunbettygaming]

🤭ooooo that sounds creepy as hell when I read it back...... Yeah, not in the creepy way....I should just shut up now.🤐😂

[@rottngranny2876]

What a great explanation about how you do things. It’s a wonderful experience for the young kids. Future generations

[@leannbrower3152]

Nice drone footage. You explained everything so everyone could understand what was happening.

[@tugboat2739]

Good video, thanks

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimmyd7071]

My two granddaughters are growing on a S Texas ranch and they work cows with their dad. During the school virus shut down they went to cow school. They are turning 8 and 10.

[@themendotaranch]

A great education for them! Thanks for watching!

[@chrisgilbert2152]

been around horses for 60 years,this shit is some great cowboy shit, were NOT cowboys, were horse folks. Doing something like this is a dream come true!

[@denisedenomme361]

[@MrMichaelguy]

Loved this video, wanna be cowboys get off on this stuff. Been missing you on Sunday Mornings. Hope Bonnie's doing okay with her arm.

[@davidrobins4025]

A simple and sure way to do the things every calf needs to have done. It is work combined with a lot of good friendship.

[@themendotaranch]

Yes!

[@storytimedavidcollins2897]

[@danebrk]

Very interesting and informative video. I can’t help but think all that burning fur must smell pretty bad lol or are you just use to it. Thanks for another great video!

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks! It’s just part of it. It starts to smell good after forty years of it. We all like it.

[@sherylmurdock4668]

Morning Jason 😀 Another great video. On Sunday mornings I have a cup of coffee and look for your video first thing! We love to watch ranching and flying. Thank you for taking time doing your videos.

[@seaqueen0002]

Great video. Good information.

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ford4life069]

Loved the narration. Answered so many questions. This is the kind of life I wld have loved to have. I swear I was born in the wrong century. Beautiful ranch. I hope this way of life never dies. I may not get to live it but damn if I don't love it anyway.

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryriha]

Very informative for a city woman. It’s fascinating 😊

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@triplehfarms2]

This brings back memories, I did this in North Dakota 42 years ago and 7 months pregnant . I did drive 75 miles to get super so I didn’t eat calf nuts I just couldn’t stomach it PG.

[@themendotaranch]

Wow! Thanks for watching!

[@RickHaug]

Great job of educating us city slickers! Love this channel!

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks so much!

[@southtexashay777]

Nice to see you moving them cattle at a slow calm pace, I can only imagine if you have runners all shit goes to hell. Take care Jason and what a nice video, I used a drone while I was cutting hay and driving a tractor man Its hard to do. Can you imagine you doing that on a horse 🐴🤣. Keep safe friend.

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks! Thankfully, I didn’t handle the drone. Custom Load does a great job for us!

[@maryschultze624]

Love watching y’all work cattle. Those 2 little cowboys are adorable. Love 💕 hugs 🤗 God bless

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks! They are!

[@karenmoss1605]

Fabulous video! I would have loved to do this ♥️ My grandpa never let me around the cows on my pony😢 but I did try to sneak around to move them LOL Rawhide! As always thank you Jason for my Sunday morning video 👏🏻👏🏻

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching and all the great comments!

[@bobbietower7185]

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

Great job Jason. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. The drone is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@mhgeast5000]

Great Video. We loved the content. This city boy learned a lot. Good job. Thanks

[@themendotaranch]

Great! Thanks so much!

[@peskycitizen7582]

I loved the drone footage of the gather as you narrated what you were doing. Very interesting to watch the entire process. Great that he kids are learning how to do things properly. 👍

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks! It’s a cool perspective!

[@5kranch470]

Loved the vid!!

[@themendotaranch]

Thank you!

[@rebeeccaborne]

Loved this video. Amazing. Would love to see this up close.

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching!

[@pattybryd7228]

This is such an interesting video. I love learning about ranch work. Wish I'd grown up in the west and had some of these experiences. Thank you Jason for sharing.

[@themendotaranch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tiffanyq.6004]

The drone really gives a cool vantage point as you all gather. Thank you for explaining the etiquette between the cowboys. Nice looking horses and calves too. 😊

[@themendotaranch]

It really does! Thanks so much!

[@tinabaranowski8995]

It's difficult for me to watch the actual branding but loved your narrative. It truly helps those like me who know nothing about being a rancher and a cowboy understand what your life is all about.

[@tinabaranowski8995]

Audrey is amazing. I do want to mention that tall, handsome, Sam Elliot looking, cowboy. Made watching the branding much easier! 😉

[@karenmoss1605]

Hellava moustache too ♥️

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks for watching!

[@stumpy2816]

Interesting Thanks

[@themendotaranch]

Thank you!

[@johnharvey4757]

Hope y'all got the slow rain we did in Fritch.

[@themendotaranch]

We did! It was much needed and we are so grateful for it!

[@ryanmoeller3308]

Been a while since I've been on a ranch!! Thanks for the GREAT video good sir! If you ever need a Helicopter Mechanic, let me know! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍

[@themendotaranch]

I will! Thanks for watching!

[@sandrajohnston9745]

One of your best videos. Do you have a big Rocky Mountain oyster feed after?

[@cheyennejt]

Pretty cool. What is the implant. I understand the rest of your narration.

[@terryhattaway9168]

Morning Sir, to all of those folks that don’t know why we brand. It’s the cowboy way 🤠of showing ownership!

[@themendotaranch]

Yes! Thanks for watching!

[@vickiroyce2891]

Just curious why you choose not to band your steers when they are born? We have a herd of 500 and it works out the best for us

[@themendotaranch]

Our smallest pasture is 1,000 acres. Sometimes they are hard to find. This works the best for us and has been done this way for 100 years. Thanks!

[@vickiroyce2891]

@@themendotaranch Thanks I understand and I realize it’s been done since the beginning didn’t mean to strike a nerve just we have noticed less stress on calf’s is all but didn’t realize your areas were so big and obviously what works for one doesn’t work for another 👍🏻

[@WesternWandererJM]

Did you haul sand into your pens or is that the natural soil in your branding pen?

[@themendotaranch]

It’s natural. Thanks!

[@codytodd9773]

Dang so y’all just cut the boys right out of there huh? Psswhew 😂😂

[@gagegonzalez2767]

I am looking for a job starting December when I get out of the army give me a holler if you need any help

[@themendotaranch]

Thank you and thanks for serving. 🇺🇸 We don’t need any more help at this time.

[@eprohoda]

The. hello!you shared pro - ;)

[@darrellsavoy8417]

I would NEVER break out a rope in the pasture. If something had to be roped in pasture for some reason that is for the owner or one of his regular hands to do. Too many bad things can go wrong. Also if it was open when you got there leave it open. If it was closed make sure it closed when you leave.

[@cherisandles1004]

Why don't u use ear tags n the rubber bands?

[@themendotaranch]

Ear tags fall out and rubber bands are cruel.

[@cherisandles1004]

Isn't using a knife to cut the open cruel? Of course it's quicker n will heal faster than the rubber that I've always felt cruel for the length of time it's on the animal. So maybe ur method better. Are they given an anti' biotic at the same time to keep them from infection?

[@gregsullivan8956]

Morning

[@themendotaranch]

Good morning! Thanks for watching!

[@shaunroberts9361]

You could've narrated this any better. Very very nice video. EAT BEEF ITS WHATS FOR DINNER.

[@themendotaranch]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that!

[@darrellsavoy8417]

The guys that used to go help. let you know if you got in front of some body or cut them off. You WILL get run over.
