CUSTER STATE PARK - BUFFALO ROUNDUP - Public
September 26, 2025 Standard Roundup
Feel the earth tremble as the hooves of more than 1,400 American buffalo pound through the valley. At the annual Buffalo Roundup, herdsmen on horseback spur them over the ridge, down the hill and into corrals for sorting.
The Custer State herd passes by only a few hundred feet from your seat. Custer State Park is home to one of the largest American bison herds in the world. The annual roundup keeps the population in balance with the available land and resources.

Custer State Park
Custer State Park is home to one of the largest American bison herds in the world. The annual roundup keeps the population in balance with the available land and resources. Most return right back to their home, the grasslands of Custer State Park. This event, is annually held on the last Friday in September - one day only. The Park Rangers move the approximately 1,400 buffalo (bison) from their summer pastures into corrals. This is a way to manage the bison herd, identify calves, and ensure the health and well-being of the animals. It also serves as a spectacle for visitors to witness the traditional cowboy culture and the movement of the large herd. Once placed in the corrals, park staff sorts out 200-500 animals to be sold, vaccinates the new members of the herd, brands the new calves, and checks the cows for pregnancy. It takes about four days to work the entire herd.
