Funny you should ask! I branded myself.

A long time ago I once made a fire branded myself on the upper left arm. It was supposed to be a pretty design but it turned out to be just an ugly scar. It did not hurt that bad.

The hardest part is forcing yourself to hold the red hot iron to your skin.

You see!! The cows don't have it so bad....they don't have to hold the iron on their own hides. :wink:

Maybe you didn't holf it steady enough and that's why it's an ugly scar? Repeat with more pressure and with a steadier hand and let us know... :wink:

LOL, DDT, you animal! :lol: I am going to brand my future spouse with my initials.

And what about Rodeos? Are there any Russian rodeos?


That is me with the branding iron.

It's hard to see, but the guy crouching is holding something -- the branding iron -- against the calf.

So DDT, where were you during the 70's and 80's? If you hung around rodeos much you've probably heard of my step-father; Sandy Kirby. You know him?

I never paid much attention to the rodeo scene.

But according to google your step dad was:

You won't see a branding done like that in Texas!! Note the two horsemen holding the calf by ropes to the front and hind feet. These guys are nevada Buckaroos not cowboys.

In Texas and most other places the rope is taken off the calf and then the calf is held down by two stupid guys willing to do it! :D

I'm crouching. The branding iron is parallel to the ground. The haze is smoke from burning hair.
