Silver Spur Ranch - Colorado

Winter is a hard time on any cattle ranch, but even more so for those in the northern states. On this particular day in Colorado the weather was as unpredictable as it was harsh. Fog would roll in so thick you couldn’t see a cow fifteen feet in front of you, then a minute later it was gone. Luckily, it opened up just right when one of the guys went on the chase. I love the mood in this shot. It exemplifies the reality of what a cowboy deals with day to day. Unlike what Hollywood will have you believe, it’s not all campfires and sunsets.

About the Collection

For more than six years, photographer Rob Hammer has traveled throughout the American West documenting the lives and traditions of working cowboys on some of the country's most historic ranches. His ongoing project, Calves to the Fire, is an intimate look at a culture that remains largely unseen by the outside world. The photographs are made during actual day to day ranch work instead of staged reproductions.

Work from the collection has been exhibited in fine art galleries and museums, featured on the set of the hit television shows Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch, licensed by iconic Western brands such as Wrangler and American Hat Co., and published in Western Horseman and Cowboys & Indians Magazine.
