Buffalo, dust and cheers: roundup tradition returns
BLACK HILLS, S.D. (KELO)– Each year, the Buffalo Roundup brings in more than 20,000 visitors to watch the buffalo travel across Custer State Park. “This is our fourth time being here in the Black Hills.

If you’ve got the time and the ability to be here this time of year, it’s a great, great way to experience the buffalo and stuff. You don’t really see much anywhere else.” Texas visitor William Kirby said.
