Ranching Peoria Flats

Apr 14, 2015

Colleen McCurrin shared photos from Peoria Flats north of Pierre. "My parents have ranched in this area since 1964 and my husband Lee and I are fortunate to live next door to my childhood home," McCurrin says. "These photos were taken on Good Friday while riding with my brother, Casey, as he put out salt blocks in the calving pasture."

McCurrin bought her first camera in 1984 while working for Miller's Photo Studio in Pierre. She's been interested in photography as a hobby ever since. She works as a truck broker for North Central Logistics.

Great pictures. Bought my first Camera at Millers.It was a Minolta and got lots of good pictures with it. I was raised in eastern S.D. But found out when a tourist called a West River Cowboys a farmer that was not what they were. I loved the pictures. West River people are very special and do have a different life than the East River Farmers.

Love the pictures. Through your photography you have opened the window and captured beautifully a glimpse of the life style of our family which is now in its 3rd generation on the ranch. Keep up the good work.
