Aleutian wild cattle are feral wild cattle found on the Alaskan Aleutian islands. Several attempts have been made to round up these cattle for ranching.[1][2] In 1985–6 the cattle on the Shumagin Islands were eliminated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,[3][4] but they still remained on Umnak Island[2] and Chirikof Island[5]
