Interview with Brittany Schnell I’m a cat- loving South Dakota native who grew up in a large family. My husband and I married in 2017 and made the Schnell Ranch our home. The ranch, located north of Lemmon, South Dakota is our little slice of heaven- with open skies, a sea of grass, Black Angus beef, a Blue Heeler & half a dozen cats. Some of my favorite days are spent working in my garden under the hot, North Dakota sun. https://brittanyography.com
