River Klass pays a visit to the cattle rancher and cowboy communities to talk about the American ranching lifestyle.

Along the South Fork of California's American River, a multi-generational cattle ranch is utilizing new technology.

River Klass meets Justin Owens, the man behind Manzo Beef, a high-end Piedmontese label that's winning over elite resorts, private chefs, and top-tier athletes with its remarkably lean, tender Italian breed cattle, then trades the ranch for a raft on the Spokane River for some unexpected urban fly fishing in the heart of downtown.

Oklahoma's Stockyard City is the home of the largest stocker and feeder cattle market in the world and more than 100 million livestock head have passed through their iron gates since the early 1900s.

River heads to Bishop, California for the 56th Annual Mule Days Celebration, competing against seasoned riders in a cattle cutting event, riding in the parade, and digging deep into the story of the pack animal that helped build the American West.
