William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: calves

A calf is lassoed in preparation for the branding. I think the cow on the other side of the fence is likely the anxious mother.

Cows and their calves are gathered for a community branding near Val Marie, Saskatchewan. About a dozen ranchers gathered their cattle for this event. One white cow on the left really stands out.

At a community branding almost everyone has a job to do. The exceptions are the young ones, who watch from the sidelines. Within a few years these boys will be assigned chores.
