Colts on Matt Ranch
Jul 30, 2013
Michele Schweitzer shared these photos from Matt Ranch near Red Owl. Cliff and Judy Matt own the ranch. Hired man Grady Gifford is shown working with a couple of the ranch's colts.
"I am always put in a seat of respect and amazement when you see someone so great in what they do and humble in their position," Schweitzer says. "What really gave me thought is how hard the South Dakota rancher works. Both Cliff and his hired man had been out since 5:00 a.m. haying. It was now approaching 6:00 p.m. and Grady had to break a couple colts. No supper yet, no complaints. It was just work to be done and there were more chores to follow."
Schweitzer lives in Mobridge. View more of her photos at picsbymicimages.com.
