@@johnjoman1634 I expect yer the type of guy that picks up the acoustic guitar while the party is going and plays a tepid cover of wagon wheel. Looks at the hosts as they bow you out, then fist pump yourself on the way to your car, knowing you killed the party. Great video Cal, loved it!
Much respect to the guys for the work that goes into removing these problem cattle. I am a 7th generation Australian Cattleman and I can honestly say if they were feral cattle on public land in Australia they would just be shot outright no questions asked.
Fantastic video, Cal and crew. Cody and his team are doing some difficult but necessary work. Thanks for highlighting this niche of cowboy life for us. It certainly doesn't make me look down on it all.
Our narrow trail was blocked totally by two wild cows with calves while we were mule packing in the Marble Mountain Wilderness of California. I've always had bears and lion on my mind, but never considered the danger of wild cows. Let me tell you, those two cows were wild fierce. Luckily we had dogs with us. Being domestic dogs that had been around cattle, it even took the dogs a few minutes to figure out the situation. I have great respect for the people who handle these wild ones.
As far as the youtube series go. I vote to up the length per episode. You definitely have plenty of content for a 45-60 minute episode and I think the viewers will only increase. Add more b roll if needed but with Cals research and knowledge I doubt it would be necessary. Heck throw in a " me and the crew went to so and so diner and it was good but not as good as.." segment. Still entertaining
Love these shows just from a gear head point of view. Looking at how the best of the best wear, carry and sort their tools, gear and protective equipment is a education in itself.
You sir have changed my mind about hunting and I don’t mean just in the sense it’s a occasional hobby if you eat what you kill your not only becoming a part of the food chain again as we once was you have taken us back to our roots and that is something very special to achieve congratulations sir love from the UK
The feral horse problem in the west should get some coverage. They do a unprecedented amount of damage, but are a federally protected invasive species. Great work covering this, though!
I went to an Adopt a Mustang event. Before the draw began for the horses they put on a demonstration of “tame” Mustangs in the sale arena with people riding them to inspire people I reckon. One of the mustangs started bucking and the rest followed suit. All riders got bucked off. It was like a rodeo event. It was hilarious. 😂
It's sad but horses are an invasive species and need to be managed but horses are also as friendly, loyal, and smart as dogs making it a difficult task ethically
I went on a feral cattle round up in a FL swamp. It was wild and wooly brahma action.. I was riding a three year old foundation quarter horse. His grit is probably why I survived. I’ve never rode a horse since who had the natural cow instinct and the agility to duck under ropes like him. When I bragged on the horse to the guy who owned him, he said you should’ve seen his momma, she could turn through herself.
2:47 This reminds me of Arlo Guthrie talking about the giant humongous clams .... "I'm not talking about sitting under the water waiting for you. I'm talking about coming after you!" 5:01 Great dog cam footage!
Well done Ryan. That was different from the normal MeatEater clips but still linked. We are very similar here in Australia, we have cattle wranglers. Mainly the land owners that catch them with old trucks, yard them and send them to market.
Awesome Cal.... I've owned cattle most of my life and I've had a few that damn sure acted wild... Crazy stuff buddy...The job that Cody and these guys do with these buck wild cattle absolutely blows my mind. Thx!
Very well done. Watching how they did their jobs catching them brought lots of respect out from me. I raise cattle and have cowboyed my whole life (I'm 61), plus I'm a hunter. This was a pleasure to watch.
I really enjoyed the efforts of all, to manage safely as possible, wild cattle removal. I understand the difficultly with everything involved. It is definitely special skills and knowledge. Watched from north western PA. I have subscribed after seeing my 1st episode with using stone tools to process a Buffalo.
Would be interested in Cal doing a similar episode in Hawai'i. There're feral pig videos all over, buy feral cows hardly get a mention. What was most surprising was that they didn't shoot any of them.
Great episode!!! Ever think about the “wild” horse topic for and episode. Super big problem with little to no management practices that no one will talk about
Great video. Seems like a lot of unnecessary man work per individual animal. Here in Australia we have massive number of feral and semi-feral cattle. Ringers will use dirt bikes, buggies and helicopters to herd the cattle into large fenced funnels with a gate at the end. I encourage anyone to check out the show Outback Ringer, or just look up what I’m talking about on UA-cam. Some of the best and ballsiest heli pilots in he world - you won’t be disappointed.
As a primarily whitetail hunter from Michigan I don't have a great grasp on the size difference between these cattle and like elk and moose, but why don't they open up a year-round rifle season for the wild cattle with cheap tags? There have got to be locals who would take a cow, and it could be a super cheap DIY hunt providing a ton of meat.
What a cool video. These guys just can’t make bad content. They are my role models, I’m a fatherless 24 year old not that it matters at all. I just wanted to point out they are my assigned father figures in a way and I think it’s awesome.
hey Cal. i know its just the situation. but did u feel weird doing a drone hunt? i get that if ur not doing it some one else is. but knowing you by listening and following for a long time its gotta be crazy doing a drone hunt huh? any way love the content no less. look to hear the answer in the week in review , sponsored by stihl! love it man!!!
I want to do this so bad. I just moved to a region with tons of free range cattle and ride my motorcycle through the range all the time. It always makes me feel good to see these cattle out here (the non feral ones) but now I wonder how much of an issue this is out here and if people need help with it. I’m sure there is a learning curve but god damn you gotta start some where.
Why isn't there more of a push for state and federal funding to manage the problem? Protecting the ecosystems and people is good for everyone and you'd think pulling out all the stops to do so, would prompt a positive response. The proliferation and range of feral pigs, for example, should be of great concern to people as much as wild and non native species. This was another fun and educational edition as well!
Maybe this was mentioned and I missed it - but why can’t New Mexico hand out depredation tags for these animals? If they’re in areas where grazing is not feasible for other animals, I can’t imagine there would be any domestic cattle to be confused with and accidentally shot, and there’s no federal protection on cattle (that I’m aware of), so seems like the state could make a buck or two on tags and licenses and also have the animals removed and harvested.
Ehh better left to people that know what they’re doing, or more importantly what they’re looking for specifically. Last thing you need is people thinking it’s open season on cattle when there is a ton of open grazing range lands across New Mexico and other western states.
@@tylercluff8885 it’s not that difficult. Only certain areas are open for hunting Elk, deer, and such. All with different rules, so there is no difference. If the ranchers don’t get their stock out in time, then they can go to feed the public, since they are on public land anyways.
I live in Los alamos County and frequent the area they filmed in. One thing they didn't mention is that the cattle that they are chasing came from the santa clara Indian publo/reservation. Which boarders the land they are trying to remove them from. This is just the latest effort to remove them. They have hired wrangler to round them up before and they got a few. The County thought about shooting them but Los alamos County is very pro animal rights and anti hunting so that option had lots of push back.
I grew up on a cattle ranch in new meadows Idaho. We had grazing rights in the hills west of town. Full disclosure we were hired help. Dad started cutting me $100 a summer when I was ten. We moved the cattle constantly and at the end of the season we accounted for damn near every one every year! Occasionally we lost one to an disgruntled hunter. This was before the wolf reintroduction. Symbiosis is nearly the normal now. I’ve digressed horribly! The worst cattle that we ever had were from Hawaii. We never put them in the hills. We kept them in the valley. From what we heard they are basically vaccinated at birth and then let go into the hills so they don’t really know what people are. I could open a gate on a 60 acre field and they were all on the far side! I’ve been hit a few times! Cattle are definitely wild animals! I also had a pet one so you never know.
Great video, I'm glad to see you didn't get your ass hooked. Would it make sense to issue some hunting tags to the public? I mean I would consider doing a hunt for beef.
This was an interesting video. Had no idea about this problem. Makes you think how devastated the landscape was when there were herds of thousands of bison tearing up the landscape. Did bison ever travel down that way? Or other large grazers that left unchecked grew to massive populations?
Bison are natural in the wild so any impact they have is suppose to be done. bison traveled many miles so they grazed one area for a bit then moved on to another so the impact wasnt devastating
I could literally watch Cal in the Field episodes all day. Eloquently shedding light on interesting parts of life most of us will never experience.
I'm the exact opposite. Cal puts me to sleep.

Not really the talkative type, are they? Sometimes that can be a pleasant situation.
Cal trying to squeeze more than 3 words out of these guys was a masterful performance.
Yeah. Men of action and doing are usually of few words.
guess that explains a lot about politicians??
Much respect to the guys for the work that goes into removing these problem cattle.
I am a 7th generation Australian Cattleman and I can honestly say if they were feral cattle on public land in Australia they would just be shot outright no questions asked.
Dam meateater just keeps getting better! The wide range of topics and perspectives just keeps me coming back for more. Keep up the great work, guys!
Fantastic video, Cal and crew. Cody and his team are doing some difficult but necessary work. Thanks for highlighting this niche of cowboy life for us. It certainly doesn't make me look down on it all.
Thanks for watching, and for keeping an open mind.
Cal seems like a great dude to sit and crack into a few cold ones with. Life goal. Keep up the great work man!

More, more, more Cal in the field Please !!!

"wild" Horses and jackrabbit eat more grass than cattle do in a lot of western states.
It's sad but horses are an invasive species and need to be managed but horses are also as friendly, loyal, and smart as dogs making it a difficult task ethically
Top notch job. So proud of my NM life that was so well presented
This is Great. Cal you Explained it and shared it for what it is. TY. Old school Cowboys.
This is similar to the Florida cracker those cowboys used dogs and cow whips to gather the wild cows in Florida . Awesome video as well !!

Love the wild country that can support wild cattle!
No native ecosystem can 'support' wild cattle.
This is something I've never heard of and probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for you guys. Thanks for bringing these stories to all of us.
Very well done. Watching how they did their jobs catching them brought lots of respect out from me. I raise cattle and have cowboyed my whole life (I'm 61), plus I'm a hunter. This was a pleasure to watch.

Cody Fahrion- A man who is an expert at everything he does, knows who he is, and loves what he does.
Well done Callahan,,,
Wish I was there with you and helping you guys
Everything that Cody says, is the most cowboy thing ever ! Great episode ! Thank you.
This definitely helps pass the time between seasons. SMELL US NOW MA!!!! Northern lower Michigan checking in...
Glad to see this work is still happening in Los Alamos. 👍🏼
Excellent video meat eater crew. Another awesome and unique video
makes me miss chasin wild cattle in rough country! goo dhorses good dogs and good punchers always had fun!
Beautiful job, guys. Beautiful, educational production.

Skyler Nosie had a business doing this in Arizona on his channel Apache Cowboy. I would’ve loved to see he and Ryan work together!
Another great episode!
Hey Cal ,ive seen Mexican Cowboys wrangle Wild Bovine in Arizona DessertsThey do a hell of a job👍.
Good work Men!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Longer episodes please!!!!
Well done, everybody!
This episode could have been much longer and never got boring. Cody needs a denim First Lite jacket.
Answered a lot of the questions that I had about this situation. To this point, I had only read short reads about same.
Love it. My only question is why don't they just have a hunting season for them. I would pay to hunt them.
Too many logistical issues I assume.
Because los alamos is a very liberal animal rights county and when it was brought up there was public outcry
That was a very interesting video & topic. I'd like to know more, thanks.
Great show 👍👍👍

Amazing info. Love yall
Awesome video. Never knew this stuff was going out west, hats off to them boys rounding them up
Soo proud to call Mr. Peterson my neighbor... been a pleasure watching his "cowboyness"🤣 grow throughout this journey!
I agree. Makes us so proud to have our NM heritage showcased

Cody is real deal. The way he grabbed that heifer by the scruff on her neck - thats cowboy.
Well now that’s a novel way to gather wild cattle! As they say: one dude helping is like losing two good men!😂
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else
Ha! Fellow Syracusan here. (Liverpool, but whatever...) Born and raised in CNY.
Ok my friend
This was just cool.
Hmm, like those wild cattle in Australia. Those loon fun to shoot.
14:30 that got real western real quick
Interesting episode.
Cal’s going to be wearing chaps to the bar in Bozeman in no time!
That black hat is king
Love to see that there's somebody like cody out there.
Man that’s a dream job!
Hunting is not as common in India, but this show is riveting

I’ve always had respect for range cattle….but now I’m terrified of them! 😅
this is a good video
great information and video Cal thank you .
Start giving out cow tags. I’d go down there and take one out myself. The state would make money instead of spend it.
Maybe this was mentioned and I missed it - but why can’t New Mexico hand out depredation tags for these animals? If they’re in areas where grazing is not feasible for other animals, I can’t imagine there would be any domestic cattle to be confused with and accidentally shot, and there’s no federal protection on cattle (that I’m aware of), so seems like the state could make a buck or two on tags and licenses and also have the animals removed and harvested.
What kind of dogs are they?
Is it just me or has Steve taken a step back in being in hunting videos.
Alternative title: Callaghaning Wild Cattle With Ryan Wrangler.
Cal swatting a bull with his ball cap to stop it from jumping out of the trailer... 😲
Can not understand why a hunting season doesn’t exist if you want them gone then open a season all draws honored
They should just open them up to public hunting!
That just makes way too much sense
Ehh better left to people that know what they’re doing, or more importantly what they’re looking for specifically. Last thing you need is people thinking it’s open season on cattle when there is a ton of open grazing range lands across New Mexico and other western states.

Came to say just that. Open it up to hunting, apply for tags, state gets revenue

Great video (as always, but a little better).
Would it be too much trouble to start encoding and uploading in 4K or in AV1? It's a bit fuzzy on youtube at 1080p in Opus 251
It doesn't get more Cowboy then Cody...
That there is a real cowboy!
Awesome

The bison evolved alongside the planes from the pleistocene era. they don't cause the harm that non-natives do.
