    Our narrow trail was blocked totally by two wild cows with calves while we were mule packing in the Marble Mountain Wilderness of California. I've always had bears and lion on my mind, but never considered the danger of wild cows. Let me tell you, those two cows were wild fierce. Luckily we had dogs with us. Being domestic dogs that had been around cattle, it even took the dogs a few minutes to figure out the situation. I have great respect for the people who handle these wild ones.

      I went to an Adopt a Mustang event. Before the draw began for the horses they put on a demonstration of “tame” Mustangs in the sale arena with people riding them to inspire people I reckon. One of the mustangs started bucking and the rest followed suit. All riders got bucked off. It was like a rodeo event. It was hilarious. 😂

    Great video. Seems like a lot of unnecessary man work per individual animal. Here in Australia we have massive number of feral and semi-feral cattle. Ringers will use dirt bikes, buggies and helicopters to herd the cattle into large fenced funnels with a gate at the end. I encourage anyone to check out the show Outback Ringer, or just look up what I’m talking about on RUclips. Some of the best and ballsiest heli pilots in he world - you won’t be disappointed.

    As a primarily whitetail hunter from Michigan I don't have a great grasp on the size difference between these cattle and like elk and moose, but why don't they open up a year-round rifle season for the wild cattle with cheap tags? There have got to be locals who would take a cow, and it could be a super cheap DIY hunt providing a ton of meat.

    Why isn't there more of a push for state and federal funding to manage the problem? Protecting the ecosystems and people is good for everyone and you'd think pulling out all the stops to do so, would prompt a positive response. The proliferation and range of feral pigs, for example, should be of great concern to people as much as wild and non native species. This was another fun and educational edition as well!

Which boarders the land they are trying to remove them from. This is just the latest effort to remove them. They have hired wrangler to round them up before and they got a few. The County thought about shooting them but Los alamos County is very pro animal rights and anti hunting so that option had lots of push back.

    I grew up on a cattle ranch in new meadows Idaho. We had grazing rights in the hills west of town. Full disclosure we were hired help. Dad started cutting me $100 a summer when I was ten. We moved the cattle constantly and at the end of the season we accounted for damn near every one every year! Occasionally we lost one to an disgruntled hunter. This was before the wolf reintroduction. Symbiosis is nearly the normal now. I’ve digressed horribly! The worst cattle that we ever had were from Hawaii. We never put them in the hills. We kept them in the valley. From what we heard they are basically vaccinated at birth and then let go into the hills so they don’t really know what people are. I could open a gate on a 60 acre field and they were all on the far side! I’ve been hit a few times! Cattle are definitely wild animals! I also had a pet one so you never know.
