The Custer Buffalo Roundup is an annual event taking place in September that combines the thrill of cowboy tradition with wildlife conservation. Custer State Park is located in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota and is home to a herd of roughly 1,300 American bison that roam the park freely. Once a year they are rounded up for vaccinations, health, and pregnancy checks. Approximately 200-500 animals are selected for auction. This is to maintain a healthy herd size appropriate for the foraging land within the park.
