Californios producers Gwynn Turnbull Weaver and Dave Weaver recently released the second DVD in their Traditional Stockmanship series. Produced over an 18-month period, during which the Weavers shot footage at ranches throughout the Great Basin, Branding (subtitled Roping & Stock-Handling Techniques in the Great Basin & Old California Traditions) features instructional segments on rodear-style branding and interviews with working buckaroos, who explain the mindset required for responsible stockmanship. Veteran hands such as Martin Black, Buck Brannaman and Larry Schutte are among those sharing insight. Learn more by clicking here.

We recently recieved this note from Alice Stebbins, regarding Montana horseman Jon Ensign:
Dear Friends:
On July 12th, our dear friend Jon Ensign had a very unfortunate accident; he was kicked by a mule while helping a friend. He was kicked on the outside of his left leg at the joint of his knee, and it dislocated. His knee had to be reset. Unfortunately his ACL, PTL and MCL were torn completely in half and he had to undergo surgery. The surgery took longer than expected, as the damage was much worse than the surgeon had anticipated. Jon is on crutches and doing daily physical therapy. In approximately two months, after tissue has healed from the first surgery, he will have to undergo an additional surgery. Jon’s doctors are hopeful that he will walk again in four to five months, but, worst case, it will be six months before he can resume normal activity levels.
We would like to invite you to a benefit fundraiser for Jon on October 3, 2009, at 14 154th Drive SE, Snohomish, Washington, starting at 5:30 p.m. We are asking for donations and/or silent auction items. You can contact me at 425-788-1154; ajstebbins at aol.com; 20340 Mountain View Road NE, Duvall, WA 98019. Please make checks payable to Jon Ensign. Your donations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Alice Stebbins
