Black cow grazing beside Belle Fourche River with red rock formations of Devil's Tower National Monument behind.
A lone cow grazes near the Belle Fourche River, with the distinctive red rock formations of Devil's Tower National Monument in the background. The Belle Fourche River, the longest river in South Dakota, flows through Wyoming and is a vital water source for the region's agriculture and wildlife. Devil's Tower, a laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock, was designated the first national monument in the United States in 1906. Cattle ranching has been a significant part of the economic and cultural landscape of this area for over a century, with the river providing essential grazing land.

A brown cow faces the camera in a pasture in Alajuela Province, Costa Rica.
Alajuela Province sits in Costa Rica's Central Valley and northern lowlands, an area long given over to coffee farms, sugarcane, and cattle ranching. Brahman and Brahman-cross cattle, recognizable by their drooping ears and loose dewlap, are common on small Costa Rican farms because the breed tolerates heat and humidity better than European cattle. Barbed-wire fencing of the kind used here is the standard method for dividing pasture land on family-run fincas throughout the region.
