Branding Day Dinner at the Kirk Ranch

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.

  1. 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.
    Love, Dorothy
