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.
