The Story:

Scattered across the high plains of the west are livestock handling corrals. Used for receiving and loading out livestock from their summer range, these structures tell stories and stand watch all year long.  Cattle, sheep, lunches, brandings and gatherings – these corrals are essential for the livestock producers of the west.  The beginnings of winter snow lay about these corrals as they brace for more storms to come. Strong and sturdy, these edifices mark time waiting for warmer days, green grass and next years crop of calves or lambs.
