   breakfast came fast.there was such a spread after branding  , i was still full. eggs taters sausage cheese and tortillas. but before you could eat we had to breed the chosen cows. DD and MAG,the bulls,insemenated . when that was done we could go eat. a quick clean up left us with 44 deserts. [a sure sign grandpa wasn't hanging out] we froze some and will donate some to hospital [workers there eat any thing]
