Damn I bet they really get worked up when a rancher brands his cattle, castrates the males, splits/crops the ears for marking, dehorns, etc.

Not that I'd get a tatt....but would you get one from someone who operates out of their basement?

All of those procedures are done very quickly and for ID purposes only.

We never ‘went artsy’ on any of them.

I thought ranchers only used ear tags to brand their animals. The old fashioned fire-brand must have been terribly painful for the animals.
