#StillRanching in Saskatchewan


Linda Franklin had never owned a cow in her life when she met her husband, Melvin, a ranch-raised bronc rider. Now the happy couple run a Black angus and Speckle Park operation together in Goodsoil, Saskatchewan.

They may both be in their 70s and it may be pretty cold this time of year in Saskatchewan, but calving season started two weeks ago and the Franklins are #StillRanching.
