Red Steagall & Crew 2003
The whole crew helps gather Boy Blackwell
For the past several years, Red Steagall and a group of men from across the country have joined the JA for spring branding. The men arrive on Saturday and Sunday and stay the first night at the bunkhouse. Sunday night, they move out with the wagon, manned by master cook Buck Reams. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday they help gather and brand JA calves. Wednesday night, Red invites the families to the wagon and Buck serves a wonderful meal. The evening is topped off with Red, Buck and others playing a few songs or reciting poetry.
