Calvin Grant

I headed out to Brigham City, Utah today to meet with Calvin Grant. He is an 84-year-old cattle rancher and is one of the subjects for a new history project on the Ogden Stockyards. Here are a few photos from today.


Calvin Grant grew up on a cattle ranch in West Ogden near the old Ogden Union Stockyards. In the 1960's, his father, Dave Grant, was the last person to trail drive cattle to the yard where they were sold all over the western United States. Today, Calvin is 84 and still keep the books for Grant Range Bull Co. and is helping Weber State University students compile a history of the old stockyards.

Antelope Island Bison

I went out to Antelope Island over the weekend looking for bighorn sheep. It was a beautiful day with zero sheep sightings, but I did find some rather photogenic bison. After recent trips to photograph the bison round-up and bison research projects, it has been a while since I was just shooting shots without human interaction. Enjoy.
