The 42nd Annual Buffalo Round-up at Custer State Park in South Dakota is quite a spectacle. Over next three days, about 1,500 buffalo will be herded in from the park and tested for disease. Some will then be auctioned off to ranchers to thin the herd. Tourists come from all over to watch, as do locals, including Sam Hurst, who owns a buffalo ranch just up the road. Hurst, a former TV producer in Los Angeles, moved with his wife to the Badlands in 1993 with a dream to own a buffalo ranch. But last year, Sam gave up on his dream. He spoke about his failure with producers Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister of Long Haul Productions.
