Having cut/herded cattle myself on horseback this is seriously no joke.. takes a lot of skill, critical thinking, planning, and you have to be able to make split second judgments in order to keep everything running smoothly
@@iumdunno8219 find a rancher/farmer with cattle and bug em to let you help, then bug em to pay you after you prove you're worth paying, then when you've learned what you can on your feet learn to ride, then learn to rope, then buy your horse and hire out for day cowboying, keep your ear to the ground and maybe you'll get a chance at hiring on a ranch
On my great-great grandfather's world war one enlistment paper, he stated his job as "cowboy". He owned a ranch in Montana. I think it is cool that this way of life still exists.
s0fa we are because Mother Nature gives us her land so we have to respect her thankfully on our ranch in Georgia we have way to many deer and other wildlife but we have to help out by manage the population through hunting
I've been riding all my life and grew up on a small livestock farm in England- i'm used to herding sheep and beast on my horse but by god this is something different entirely, its absolutely incredible
Fun fact : Fort McMurray, Alberta Canada... you all know where that so called dirty oil comes from? The oilsands? Have reclaimed the land back better than it was before and has herds of woodbuffalo grazing on it. Truly a beautiful sight 💕
What ignorant comments by many, which unfortunately is far too usual. We are here, the bisons are here. So there are two choices- kill them all, or try to sustain them the best of our ability. Congratulations and thanks to the Nature Conservancy and the cowboys involved.
or leave them alone and let the nature regulate itself just don't invade buffalo's land and don't populate grazing landscapes how come people are so expansive they ruin everything and than they need to call it "land stewards"
"Killing them all" The lack of morals here is outstanding, The Bisons were here first. And can't your logic be applied to any foreign invader that colonizes a land? "Hey Australian Aboriginals,We are here, the Europeans, the Aboriginals are here. So there are two choices- kill them all, or try to sustain them the best of our ability." Doesn't seem right does it? What really seems to be the issue is human ignorance of habitat destruction and overhunting. An actual solution is for habitat restoration and let nature take it's course, letting the Bison population re-grow, rather to try to control the population, always keeping them vulnerable to being endangered.
@@DEUnknownPLAY3R I had a stroke reading your comment. If the bison population get too high, it can't be sustained and there will be a famine among the population after a year or two. Unless humans leave the area completely, the population has to be artificially controlled.
Back in the forties, a Tulsa oilman attempted to develop a herd of American Bison. He built a very good fence around about 200 acres of good grassland, with several water sources, a tree shelter belt, etc. Brought in several cows before introducing a four-year old bull. That bull left the truck, passed through the chutes into the open pasture. His "harem' was off in trees, but a neighboring rancher had a cow "in season" across the road. The bull moved to the fence across from that cow, lowered his head and hooked the entire fence over his shoulders -- walking under and across to walk through the standard barbed wire fence to introduce himself to the cow. The offspring was a rather unusual looking hybrid.
Absolutely incredible! I am a farm boy from South East Australia (Southern highlands) and have always dreamt of being a ranch hand in the states. Australia doesn’t have this tendency for huge properties (ranches) like this. More divided into several ownerships from 500-1000 acres. To have a job like this would be an absolute dream. Hopefully one day I can share the glory to be a ranch hand, horse rounder in a place like this. Amazing video. Very enjoyable.
While still acknowledging the failures of historic American westerners over hunting these incredible animals for disgraceful reasons, the story of Duke and his fellow ranchers is indeed heroic. It acknowledges the importance of producing sustainable solutions for conservation and economic goals. Truly inspiring.
What a great short film!! I got to see the Bison in person when in Yellowstone just a few days ago & had an absolute great time there checking out the Bison as well as the park❤️!!!
Beautiful place. It is good to know that some people is working hard for helping this amazing animal that almost disseapered by the indiscriminated hunt. Good job guys.
I think this is THE quintessential American image: the cowboy, riding mighty and high on his horse, herding wild buffalo. It is exciting, beautiful, sublime, even spiritual. Real men doing what God intended for them to do.
This video is very interesting, because helped me to understand the importancy to protect a specie in exctintion as the bison or Wild Buffalo, known in Colorado, USA.
The original people of the lands, job as far as I'm concerned. Cowboys nearly wiped the herds and native tribes out of existence in the 1800s. I read a book called Bury my heart at wounded knee.... So sad but true historic accounts of those times.
I’m a Native Americans and bisons are like spirts for us and when the guys in family go haunting it’s a beautiful but sad thing to see one killed. We never kill the babies or the mothers only male.
So cool bison in there own habitat never seen one in my life time as these guys are doing a great job as the numbers have to be controlled dangerous job for sure for rider and horse.
We share this world with all the magnificence of nature. What right do we have to destroy any of the earths creatures !!! Humanity is the most intelligent creature and also the most capable of being the most destructive or creative. Because of this we owe it to nature to be good stewards of our recourses.....including our wildlife.
I wish we would all ride horses how beautiful and good for the environment 1day gods will today ours right luv u tio Richard canizales yosametti Sam Rise in peace
As a kid in high school there was a buffalo farm on country road 15 in Lodi Ohio down the road from our school. I used to stop and watch them I wonder if it is still three.
Wow their galloping looked beautiful, right now I don’t own my own horse but when I do I’m going to do a lot of barrel racing maybe some roping possibly pole bending, I’m going to try and do as much as me and my horse can but make it fun.
Robert Neven your people have a lot to answer for regarding king leopold. The world will never forget the horrors you visited on men, women, and children.
How many are lucky enough to have worked modern cattle herds, wild longhorns and wild Buffalo heards. From my childhood growing up in a city situation and graduating a major university, my bucket list no my lifestyle dream has always been to become a true cowboy! I train the horses that can stand a real round up from fisrt day to cutting and branding/ inaculating. I have spent more nights than I can count under the stars with a heard chasing wolves and grizzlie bears. My God has given me all I truly want from this life here on earth. When i get to Heaven lets you and I chat shall we.
These people live in the wild and devote their lives to save and preserve a species. It's hard to think of a more beautiful and noble life.
Not debout there life we geting some where

My great grandfather also enlisted as a "cowboy" by trade. Enlisted WW1 Calgary,AB.
I live in Montana and most ranches are on the east Side, did the papers say which part he live in?
@@ravioli-bamboli They did not say
This was so cool to watch, I never thought about ranchers being stewards of nature.
s0fa same. I don’t hunt deer or anything either, but I came to realize it’s a necessary thing to conserve the deer population.

@@kirkcattlecompany6803 yes sir! I help my grandpa on his ranch. Where we raise blueheeler pups and brangus cattle.(and kinda ride colts for people)
Most ranchers care more about nature than city people
Seeing a bunch of cowboys wooshing pass is like one of the coolest things ever
Thank you ranchers for all that you do! The bison is a beautiful animal that cannot go extinct. If you'd have me I'd help ya'll out any day.

what a beautiful life they live
those cowboys are really heroic and they living an adventurous life...! I like them and their life living very much...!!
4:34 beautiful angle kudos to who ever filmed that shot
excellent job they are doing , i wish like the rest that more land was opened up for them as well as other wildlife
Great video, great story. Thank you Nat Geo, Duke, and the Nature Conservancy for daylighting this story.
Beautiful place. It is good to know that some people is working hard for helping this amazing animal that almost disseapered by the indiscriminated hunt. Good job guys.
