Jesica swung her slim body into the saddle, tighting her hat, and gathering her riens slightly she squeezed lightly with her calves, her leather chaps protecting her legs. Zanolena trusted her abit now, but noy fully. Patting her neck the bay mare walked forward. The flock of about 50 sheep lay ahead, they needed to be rounded up and funnled into the shoot and into the pen, there Caylee was to brand the newborn lambs, with Jessice helping. Jessica made the mare walk behind the flock driving them forward, a seried of bleating and baring started, any strays wer pushed back into the stream of sheep. Some lambs were still finding there legs and it was comical to watch as they tried to keep up with the flock. When the sheep reached the shoot, they stopped. Jessica had been expecting that, undoing her lariat, she twissled it in the air spooking the sheep into the shoot. Scared by the noise they trotted the lambs following. Jessica and Zanolena came in after them, securing the gates. Once they were in the pen. She went out, and dis-mounted form her mare. Good girl. Praised Jessica as she gave the mare another mint.

Caylee smiled, wanting to praise her on her good work. She could've done this all her own. She dismounted Ren quickly and rushed to the first lamb, signalling for Jessica to follow. She began branding the first of them, squealing and blaring in the stillness, and before long they all were at work. She let the first few go and smiled.
"Good work.. you think you can try to brand 'em?"
..sorry, in a big hurry.. [/size]

Jessica waved at Caylee, running over, but slowing to a walk as she neared the struggerling lambs. Hope I can help! It's been ages since I branded any thing! She helped hold the lamb to the ground. Holding it's for and rear limbs, while Caylee branded it. Jessica smiled glad they were getting along.

Never branded, so I have no idea...
Caylee smiled, skillful hands working with her tools, marking the ranch brand onto the soft, shaved pelt. She led out the next one and motioned to Hayley.
"I'll hold this one down, you brand 'er." [/size]

Sure! Jessica knelt beside Caylee, holding the lambs legs, the brand was put on. A lot a bleating unsued. Jessica giggled at all the noise. Guess what I've got a new horse! A mustang stallion. I've called him Tiger Jet, you entering that rodeo?Jessica asked cathing another lamb
