World Equestrian Brands Helmet/Drone Cam: Babbitt Ranches Cattle Gather

This video uses both drone AND helmet cameras to portray a day in the life of working ranch hands as the drive, separate and load cattle from horseback.

Even in the year 2016 with all of our advancements in technology, it’s comforting to know that there are a few jobs that still need to be done on horseback. The ranching industry, raising beef cattle for the nation’s consumption, is one of those places: no mechanized tool or vehicle accomplishes the job quite as efficiently, or beautifully, as a good working cow horse.

Enjoy both the overhead, corral-side and rider’s-eye views of the Babbitt Ranches’ cattle shipment day:

While the heyday of the American cowboy might be a page in history, there are still a handful of people making their living in the old arts.

Go cowboys, and go riding!
