Branding -- North Dakota -- Heart of the Bakken -- There's More to North Dakota Than Oil

Branding -- McKenzie County -- Memorial Day Weekend, 2011.

This was at least one of three sites where this group was branding cattle. It appears they could accomplish their goal in about 45 minutes (maybe less) in each area that they branded.

This is just one area so you can get a feeling about the number of head of cattle involved.

It was "fun" to note that the mother cows did not stray far from where their calves were being branded.
