I could literally watch Cal in the Field episodes all day. Eloquently shedding light on interesting parts of life most of us will never experience.

Dam meateater just keeps getting better! The wide range of topics and perspectives just keeps me coming back for more. Keep up the great work, guys!
Fantastic video, Cal and crew. Cody and his team are doing some difficult but necessary work. Thanks for highlighting this niche of cowboy life for us. It certainly doesn't make me look down on it all.

Thanks for watching, and for keeping an open mind.
Cal seems like a great dude to sit and crack into a few cold ones with. Life goal. Keep up the great work man!
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.
As far as the youtube series go. I vote to up the length per episode. You definitely have plenty of content for a 45-60 minute episode and I think the viewers will only increase. Add more b roll if needed but with Cals research and knowledge I doubt it would be necessary. Heck throw in a " me and the crew went to so and so diner and it was good but not as good as.." segment. Still entertaining
LOL @ cal hittin that beef with his baseball hat @14:37
Love these shows just from a gear head point of view. Looking at how the best of the best wear, carry and sort their tools, gear and protective equipment is a education in itself.
This is Great. Cal you Explained it and shared it for what it is. TY. Old school Cowboys.
Much respect to the guys for the work that goes into removing these problem cattle. I am a 7th generation Australian Cattleman and I can honestly say if they were feral cattle on public land in Australia they would just be shot outright no questions asked.
You sir have changed my mind about hunting and I don’t mean just in the sense it’s a occasional hobby if you eat what you kill your not only becoming a part of the food chain again as we once was you have taken us back to our roots and that is something very special to achieve congratulations sir love from the UK
More, more, more Cal in the field Please !!!
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this story.
such a great show thanks for bringing up childhood dreams.
How about an episode on wild horses and burros in Nevada?
Well done Ryan. That was different from the normal MeatEater clips but still linked. We are very similar here in Australia, we have cattle wranglers. Mainly the land owners that catch them with old trucks, yard them and send them to market.
Excellent video meat eater crew. Another awesome and unique video
I am a contract musterer here in Australia I thoroughly enjoyed this great job guys I really got a inside for the terrain over there compared to here
Awesome Cal.... I've owned cattle most of my life and I've had a few that damn sure acted wild... Crazy stuff buddy...The job that Cody and these guys do with these buck wild cattle absolutely blows my mind. Thx!
Haven't even watch it all yet. Cal is awesome.
I really enjoyed the efforts of all, to manage safely as possible, wild cattle removal. I understand the difficultly with everything involved. It is definitely special skills and knowledge. Watched from north western PA. I have subscribed after seeing my 1st episode with using stone tools to process a Buffalo.
Another great episode!
The feral horse problem in the west should get some coverage. They do a unprecedented amount of damage, but are a federally protected invasive species. Great work covering this, though!

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. 😂

It's sad but horses are an invasive species and need to be managed but horses are also as friendly, loyal, and smart as dogs making it a difficult task ethically
This definitely helps pass the time between seasons. SMELL US NOW MA!!!! Northern lower Michigan checking in...
makes me miss chasin wild cattle in rough country! goo dhorses good dogs and good punchers always had fun!
👍👍👍👊. Hell of a good video. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Callahan,,, Wish I was there with you and helping you guys
2:47 This reminds me of Arlo Guthrie talking about the giant humongous clams .... "I'm not talking about sitting under the water waiting for you. I'm talking about coming after you!" 5:01 Great dog cam footage!
more great stuff. well done
Very educational!! Thank you!!
This is something I've never heard of and probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for you guys. Thanks for bringing these stories to all of us.
Answered a lot of the questions that I had about this situation. To this point, I had only read short reads about same.
Very well done. Watching how they did their jobs catching them brought lots of respect out from me. I raise cattle and have cowboyed my whole life (I'm 61), plus I'm a hunter. This was a pleasure to watch.
Amazing info. Love yall
This is similar to the Florida cracker those cowboys used dogs and cow whips to gather the wild cows in Florida . Awesome video as well !!

I went on a feral cattle round up in a FL swamp. It was wild and wooly brahma action.. I was riding a three year old foundation quarter horse. His grit is probably why I survived. I’ve never rode a horse since who had the natural cow instinct and the agility to duck under ropes like him. When I bragged on the horse to the guy who owned him, he said you should’ve seen his momma, she could turn through herself.
That was a very interesting video & topic. I'd like to know more, thanks.
Awesome video man

Hey Cal ,ive seen Mexican Cowboys wrangle Wild Bovine in Arizona DessertsThey do a hell of a job👍. Good work Men! JO JO IN VT 💞
Great show 👍👍👍
Great episode!!! Ever think about the “wild” horse topic for and episode. Super big problem with little to no management practices that no one will talk about
Everything that Cody says, is the most cowboy thing ever ! Great episode ! Thank you.
Well done, everybody!
Beautiful job, guys. Beautiful, educational production.
Top notch job. So proud of my NM life that was so well presented
Just awesome!!!
That was awesome. I take my hat off for what Cody does. Master at his craft.
Longer episodes please!!!!
Glad to see this work is still happening in Los Alamos. 👍🏼
This was just cool.
Cody Fahrion- A man who is an expert at everything he does, knows who he is, and loves what he does.
Cody is real deal. The way he grabbed that heifer by the scruff on her neck - thats cowboy.
Interesting episode.
Awesome video. Never knew this stuff was going out west, hats off to them boys rounding them up
great information and video Cal thank you .
Would be interested in Cal doing a similar episode in Hawai'i. There're feral pig videos all over, buy feral cows hardly get a mention. What was most surprising was that they didn't shoot any of them.
this is a good video
Man that’s a dream job!
This episode could have been much longer and never got boring. Cody needs a denim First Lite jacket.
Skyler Nosie had a business doing this in Arizona on his channel Apache Cowboy. I would’ve loved to see he and Ryan work together!
Well now that’s a novel way to gather wild cattle! As they say: one dude helping is like losing two good men!😂
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 KZread. Some of the best and ballsiest heli pilots in he world - you won’t be disappointed.
Give the guy that pitched this content idea a raise. Cows kick worse than horses watch 14:50 ish

That was interesting.
Hmm, like those wild cattle in Australia. Those loon fun to shoot.
14:30 that got real western real quick
Great video (as always, but a little better).
Love to see that there's somebody like cody out there.
What a cool video. These guys just can’t make bad content. They are my role models, I’m a fatherless 24 year old not that it matters at all. I just wanted to point out they are my assigned father figures in a way and I think it’s awesome.
Cal’s going to be wearing chaps to the bar in Bozeman in no time!
Love it. My only question is why don't they just have a hunting season for them. I would pay to hunt them.

Hunting is not as common in India, but this show is riveting
I want to do this so bad. I just moved to a region with tons of free range cattle and ride my motorcycle through the range all the time. It always makes me feel good to see these cattle out here (the non feral ones) but now I wonder how much of an issue this is out here and if people need help with it. I’m sure there is a learning curve but god damn you gotta start some where.
I’ve always had respect for range cattle….but now I’m terrified of them! 😅
Que shulada saludos
Is it just me or has Steve taken a step back in being in hunting videos.
hey Cal. i know its just the situation. but did u feel weird doing a drone hunt? i get that if ur not doing it some one else is. but knowing you by listening and following for a long time its gotta be crazy doing a drone hunt huh? any way love the content no less. look to hear the answer in the week in review , sponsored by stihl! love it man!!!

That there is a real cowboy!
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.
Love me some meat eater

Ehh better left to people that know what they’re doing, or more importantly what they’re looking for specifically. Last thing you need is people thinking it’s open season on cattle when there is a ton of open grazing range lands across New Mexico and other western states.

@@tylercluff8885 it’s not that difficult. Only certain areas are open for hunting Elk, deer, and such. All with different rules, so there is no difference. If the ranchers don’t get their stock out in time, then they can go to feed the public, since they are on public land anyways.

Came to say just that. Open it up to hunting, apply for tags, state gets revenue
Just like that I have a new dream job
Maybe this was mentioned and I missed it - but why can’t New Mexico hand out depredation tags for these animals? If they’re in areas where grazing is not feasible for other animals, I can’t imagine there would be any domestic cattle to be confused with and accidentally shot, and there’s no federal protection on cattle (that I’m aware of), so seems like the state could make a buck or two on tags and licenses and also have the animals removed and harvested.
Alternative title: Callaghaning Wild Cattle With Ryan Wrangler.
Great video, I'm glad to see you didn't get your ass hooked. Would it make sense to issue some hunting tags to the public? I mean I would consider doing a hunt for beef.
That’s as cowboy as cowboy gets.
Let hunters cash there elk tag in on an identified wild cow. Hold a identification course like lions an cash some last day elk tags in
This is basically how the old school cattle drives from Texas to Kansas were done. Those old school guys were tough!
Surprised you didn’t mention the option for hunters to hunt them.
