Ropes 4 Hire - Low Stress Calf Branding
with Walter Miller & Wade Black
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2).
"Ropes 4 Hire" is designed to help meet your livestock handling needs. We specialize in branding calves by heading and heeling. We are available to help get your work done quickly and quietly. We can provide the entire crew, do all the gathering, roping, and ground work, and you can just sit back and watch. Or, we can provide instruction and guidance in helping you brand your calves with low stress Spanish Vaquero methods. We accept donations to help cover expenses, with any extra going to support the Treasure Valley Community College Equine and Rodeo program.
Ropes 4 Hire is focused on getting the job done with as little stress as possible on the livestock, and on you. Ropes 4 Hire follows the Foundation for Perfection principles (see sidebar article). When done correctly, branding calves can be fun, safe, and highly productive. However, we know how stressful it can become when animals and people get confused, frustrated, and on the fight. Let us introduce you to Low Stress Livestock Handling methods, and remove the stress and anxiety often associated with branding.
No job too large or too small!
We can provide portable panels and handling equipment.
If we can help you in any way, contact Walter Miller at (208) 941-4027.
Headquarters: Wilder, Idaho.
