We will take breakfast with us on the bus. Each fall the wild west returns to Custer State Park during the Annual
Buffalo Roundup. Park staff, cowboys and cowgirls saddle up to move the park's 1,450 bison to the buffalo corrals.
The roundup serves several purposes. The first is to move the entire herd into a system of corrals along the Wildlife
Loop Road. Once in the corrals, the animals are sorted. Most are released back into the park, while others remain in
the corrals until the auction in November. All calves are branded and the female calves are vaccinated for brucellosis.
Chuck Wagon Lunch is included after the Roundup.
We will do a driving tour of Custer State Park after lunch.
