Every spring, the Kirks gather their herd of cattle for branding. Their ranch, in South Dakota’s Black Hills, is a comfortable, pretty place with breathtaking views of the hills and pastureland. Friends and neighbors roll out of bed early to help–in this particular case, despite temperatures in the teens. Amy Kirk, a rancher’s wife as well as a writer, talks about her life on the ranch and the buildup to Branding Day’s big reward: the Branding Day Dinner.

This is fabulous, Amy! Thanks so very much for sharing the video. Great fun to see you in action–as a great farm wife, a wonderful Mom, and excellent cook. The world is a better place because of people like you in it. Keep up the good work.
God bless you always.

Hi Marilyn do you mean actually go out to the Kirk ranch and watch? Branding usually occurs in late April/early May but we’ll ask and see.
