p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Buffalo Roundup - Custer State Park


A few photos from the annual "Buffalo Roundup" at Custer State Park, South Dakota in the Black Hills. This event attracts thousands of spectators to watch as they round-up about 1,300 Bison in the park to bring them in to the corral to vaccinate the young and cull out a few hundred for sale. The ground vibrated as the Bison stampeded down the hills and in to the corrals. It was a cloudy, dreary, low-light day, but I got a few shots.

The State Park maintains a herd of about 1,000 animals and they roam freely throughout the park. They sell about 300 each year to keep the herd manageable and to make sure that there is enough grazing land for them. I guess I don't know where they go after they are sold (or don't want to know).

Very neat set Bruce. Old time roundups. That would be very cool to watch up close.

Just think how lucky everyone was knowing what happened on the following week. That could have very dangerous. Very nice shots. I enjoyed them.

Thanks for the comments. I forgot to mention that one week after the Buffalo Roundup the Black Hills got dumped on with 4 feet of snow, power outages, roads closed and people stranded all over the place. We just missed it.

I'm sure that was a wonderful experience and only a small taste of what it was like back in the day. Thanks for sharing these!
