Calf Paint Branding of three head
First: Llano Seco in 3 minutes 35 seconds by John Baker, Ricky Fimea and Cooper Stumbaugh.
Second to the team of Ferguson Livestock, with Mac McGiffin, Lloyd Faria and Dave Ferguson in 3.41.
Third to the team of Roy Owens, Cole Hook and Pete Brown with 3.47.
They had to apply the U7 brand on the right hip, and I would have penalized a couple of teams 30 seconds for the lazy U7. The judges did penalize teams for loping instead of trotting. There had been 10 teams entered.
