More shooting, good weather

Today we shot again for the short film I'm working on, once again at the ranch using a steer and a little boy. The difference was, today we had beautiful weather and it went pretty smoothly. No major problems, except when the cow wrangler got clipped with one of its horns across the head. He didn't fall down, and said he was alright after he stopped seeing stars, but a bruise was definitely forming by the end of the day.

One of the steers at the ranch is Bevo, UT's bovine mascot, who is brought out onto the field to lay down and observe, and apparently stand when touchdowns are made. He's not the steer we're using, but he's definitely a fine specimen. Our star is older and supposedly more docile, but he does get feisty (see above).

I'm just glad we're done with the ranch, even though there's more to come with both the boy and the bull.
