This article appeared in the May 2026 Edition of the Branding Pot Monthly. If you want the good stuff first, saddle up and join the newsletter—it's where the secrets drop before they hit the corral.  1. If you need to do a field or branding meal for many, cook baked potatoes in tinfoil on the bbq and then put them in a cooler lined with a towel. They will stay PIPING HOT all day and will travel to the field like a champ. Throw in a crockpot of meat, a tub of sour cream and bag of shredded cheese. Hello loaded baked potatoes like a boss!
2. If you're planning a branding, designate a vaccine boss. And then have them color coordinate the vaccine syringes with these handy knob replacements and matching markers. Use the same color tape to label each vaccine that corresponds to the knob/tape color. No vaccine mixups again! 3. This recommendation comes from a fellow Branding Pot girlie, @flaghillranch. She swears by her Huber Ag Calf Catcher for the side of her quad/UTV. I've never tried it but the videos she has shared with me make it look slick! 4. Greenhouse Temperature Alerts! If its not frost, its 40C heat-- at least that's what it feels like trying to grow anything on the prairies. I have this Lacrosse Technology Wireless Weather station with a sensor in my greenhouse and the base station in my house (max 100m apart). The app (runs off the wifi in the house) then sends my phone alerts whenever temps reach my pre-set max or mins. I have a sensor in the yard too, because what farmer doesn't want to know the temp, all the time?! This article appeared in the May 2026 Edition of the Branding Pot Monthly.

It's finally here, friends.I am sharing with you my personal cattle BRANDING MANUAL This branding manual is a step‑by‑step look at how I personally organize our branding. After years of flipping through old handwritten notes, screenshots, and dusty photos, I finally decided it was time to pull everything together in one place. This includes my tried & tested recipes (and tips for ensuring you can serve it early or late), my branding pen checklists and my personal to-do lists from a month out, all the way to the day after. The tips, tricks, and recipes are a culmination of generations of women before me and a killer crew of ranch women who support me daily. So here's to all the bada** babes juggling the farm, the kids, the husband, and the long list of “other duties as required” like complete cowbosses, day in and day out. May your branding day be filled with healthy fat calves, sunshine and good company! Click the photo below to download your copy.
