The Art of Bison Persuasion
This past week I had the chance to ride along to bring in a herd of buffalo from their winter grazing grounds on the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands. Dan and Colton had been bringing bunches in all week and we hoped this was the last group.
Their winter pasture consists of 24,000 acres, which can make finding them a challenge. If they are miles away in rough terrain, it may take days to get them close to the river and onto their summer pasture. If this is the case we will either use horses or ATV'SÂ and get behind them at a distance, making a presence, to encourage them to head for home. When they are within a couple of miles we will use a different approach, which is featured in the video. It may not be as sexy as a bunch of cowboys running open with a herd of stampeding buffalo in front of them, but it is less stressful on the buffalo and the people. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks. Your videos, and stories from the prairie, always take me back to “a better place and time”.
Thanks again, and again.?

The video touches the soul! ! . I like the fact that you humbly appreciate what you have and you don’t have to act out the Wild West theme. And I like that you knew others would enjoy it too! There is a Spirituality to what you do. May it grow and spread to others!
Thank you so much for sharing that lovely video. These are the most majestic animals on the planet – in my humble opinion. How lucky you are to witness all of their beauty and wonder. Your product is wonderful, head and shoulders above any other I have sampled. Thank you for your devotion to keeping this part of our world intact for generations to come. Again, thank you!!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Love the end result.
