A record 21,000 visitors from around the world attended Custer State Park’s 50th annual Buffalo Roundup last weekend. Park employees and volunteers gathered about 1,300 buffalo into corrals using horses and all terrain vehicles. Once rounded up, some buffalo were branded, vaccinated and checked for pregnancy. The Custer State Park herd is one of the largest in the state. About 400 buffalo will be auctioned off on November 21 to keep the herd size manageable. Photos by Joel Schwader.
