In fact, wealthy ranchers want to be able to let their cattle & sheep graze on public land for free, so they support these wild horse roundups.
Also, they support and push for "killing contests" to reduce the wolf and coyote populations on federal lands, so their livestock can graze on public land (for free) without fear of wolves & coyotes killing them.

As far as the buffalo roundups, you're probably right.
Many of them too, probably, die from stress, broken necks and other traumatic injuries sustained during the roundups.
