The front part of the branding fork folds down and both ropes are tight. The calf is on its side and there is easy access to all areas. The tool greatly reduces the risk of being kicked or injured.

First, have the rider rope both of the calves back feet. They will drag the calf right along side of the branding fork where the person on the ground will slip the fork over the neck of the calf as shown. Have the rider continue to drag until the rope is tight. The calf is in a stable postion and ready to go.

After you are done branding, simply pull the handle to release the calves head. The rider will loosen the slack on the rope and the calf can kick free. |
