Cowboy heroes: wild times on Indigenous cattle station | First Nation Farmers Ep3 | ABC Australia

Mustering wild buffalo is dangerous, fast, furious and fun. Meet members of a respected Indigenous farming family helping Indigenous youth get their life in order. And how gambling luck in a time of great racism made it all possible. Subscribe: kzbin.info?sub_...
Indigenous Australians have been reaping the bounty of the land for tens of thousands of years. Landline looks at how those foods are becoming mainstream and First Nation Farmers are part of modern agriculture.

These are the role models indigenous kids need

[@fullsend8738]

Old mate had to win the lottery to make this, think about that

[@pistolpeds]

Respect to these guys. Hard working, obviously long term good management and family. Role models.

[@jalbu8330]

What a great story, loved every minute. Fine example of a hard working family for all of us to follow. Helping young people find purpose in life and learn to work hard is bonus for our society. Good on you all. 🙏🏽

[@grahamhill8018]

What an excellent job the owners of this station do. Giving these lads training and an opportunity to make a career... Good on ya!

[@DJT7362]

It's good to see these lads given a second chance plus they seem happy in their work. A big thumbs up you guys.

[@selenaclarke]

The true solution to save society is for each person to not ask what can society do to help a person but what can I do to help . . I just Love this Family

[@tiagomori2534]

This is the closer thing that we have from Mad Max

My boys, we cowboys

[@paulvk2539]

Willy Shadforth - absolute legend

[@1066PV]

The cattle look to be tick-resistant Shorthorn bulls but their DNA says they are very close to Santa Gertrudis, which are themselves originally derived from Shorthorn. A great story of a fine family of the gulf.

[@dantaylor897]

Wow!!! Great story great people and crazy bloody work? Im so impressed and love traditions being keep alive to guide the younger generation. We could do with more in NZ

[@gabyherrmann9894]

The working legends, the driving legends, the Toyota legends. This all is so fascinating for me, I can't get full.

[@fandangofandango2022]

Great People.

[@jurtimmermans1486]

Could you organise bullcatch vacations? I will make a reservation today!

[@outbackalbert694]

[@rohanhines8238]

This is so lovely and adventurous😊

[@vk88864]

Deadly. So proud 🖤💛❤️and I guarantee they didn’t get those Toyotas for free as some Aussie’s believe. My grandparents and mother worked on a dairy farm and I am a hobby farmer. Nothing like these fellas but we know how to live and work with animals.

[@58dunc]

Well done guys. It’s hard yakka but a good life. I did a bit on Anthony’s Lagoon and even managed a Booraloola rodeo much to the amusement of the crowd and rest of the ringers. Thanks for the video.

[@johnpartridge7623]

Gutsy lifestyle & working with the Kids passing on the knowledge, can't get anything better than that.

[@bilygates2509]

Impressive work... I wonder why the government doesn’t finance more programs like this... it would save so many lives..

[@rhys5567]

Government would ruin it

[@kapuagutchen8171]

Stupid question how you guys in Australia end up made wild bulls? Is that about the same story as the wild horse or is it different?

[@nztrucker1542]

2:59 I had too laugh when she said he was the first indigenous to own cattle station in Australia. They did own the whole country before the european /English STOLE the land like they did in many countries😒

[@mollymuch2808]

When WW2 hit and the Japanese butchered their way across south East Asia down Australia killing whites and natives alike Those soldiers of whom many lost their lives and some indigenous folk too Japan would’ve taken Aus and I’m afraid they would’ve had no use for our natives So the country belongs to all of us And what country has not ever been invaded . And the British Well thankGod it was the British as an empire they weren’t far the most benevolent And Papua New Guinea regrets the day they became independent Of Australia I know I have lots of family their

[@jake567100]

Weren’t too many cattle before the English arrived were there?

[@hippopole9657]

Cow is animal . Bullock is also animal but Hindus say Cow is holy and killing cow is a crime in India .Cows give milk .Cow urine is a gy medicine to cure many diseases .Cow dung is very important .

[@AyubKhan-oh7jv]

First indigenous to own the cattle station .hahahahahah.they owned the whole continent

[@michaeljones6832]

was just about to say the same

[@timsorensen2085]

They didn’t own it just lived and looked after the land caretakers if you will most definitely did not own

[@4youreyesonly884]

@@timsorensen2085 they owned the land. They were there first...well their ancestors. Until they sent convicts from England, and ruined everything.

@@4youreyesonly884 alot of those convicts were Irish and what were they convicted of stealing food to feed their families I think you should read some Irish history these convicts were decent people there only crime being poor

Run right down there and set it free! Go on! Is there a better way to remove a 1ton pissed off, thick skinned, horned beast that is not indigenous and poses problems for animals that are?

Same old DH animal activists with too much time on their hands. This is life, deal with it!
