Synopsis
On the prairies, branding day is more than work — it’s a ritual that ties generations together. Branded by the Prairie follows the Caton family of southwest Saskatchewan as they gather friends, neighbours, and family to work the cattle and keep traditions alive.
The film looks honestly at a practice that is both necessary and controversial, showing the realities of ranch life with respect, belonging, and love for the land. At its heart, this is a story about connection — to animals, to people, and to place.
Shot with a cinematic eye, Branded by the Prairie captures the sweat, dust, and spirit of a community bound by tradition and shaped by the vast prairie landscape.
