Most people have never been this close to a buffalo. Clyde changes that. He does not run. He does not bolt. He walks toward you.
Raised from a calf by Clint Mortenson on the ranch outside Santa Fe, Clyde is calm where other animals are skittish, comfortable where others flee, and magnetic in a way that cameras cannot ignore.
The Relationship
Raised Like Family.
From the day Clyde arrived as a calf, Clint Mortenson handled him personally. Daily feeding. Daily contact. Daily trust. Not training in the conventional sense — relationship. The kind that builds over years, not sessions.
"He follows you around. He comes when you call. That is years of showing up every single day — and it shows in everything he does on set."Book Clyde
