Spring Branding in Gregory County
May 10, 2016
Branding season is in full swing across South Dakota’s colorful cattle country. Family and neighbors gather to “work the cattle,” which includes not just the brand but vaccinations, castration and anything else that may need attention. The work is done amidst the soulful background bawling of momma cows who are temporarily separated from their babies. Here are some photos from the Sutton Ranch, northwest of Bonesteel in the beautiful breaks of the Missouri River in Gregory County. Photos by Bernie and Katie Hunhoff.
