REASONS TO WATCH YELLOWSTONE
If you have been waiting to jump on the Yellowstone bandwagon, then take this as your sign to jump on! We are excited to give you 7 reasons why you need to watch the hottest new series on television, besides the obvious one being it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Okay, all jokes aside, let’s dive in! BY KRYSTA PAFFRATH R E ASON 1
Everyone Wants to Be a Cowboy Yellowstone embodies the essence of the American West, and people are eating it up. A great example of this was last year when the series was released, everyone seemed to be two of the main characters – “Rip and Beth” -- for Halloween. People are always looking for an excuse to play cowboy and Yellowstone gave them a reason. The series does a phenomenal job of giving its viewers the feel of living “life on the range”, while also providing the drama of a good TV show that everyone craves. R E ASON 2
The Story Line Speaking of drama, if it’s one thing you watch this show for, it should be the storyline and the drama that comes with it. You can’t beat the amazing landscape surrounding the show, but what about the storyline itself? At its core, the series is based on the complications that surround the Dutton Ranch, which is the largest contiguous

ranch in the United States, based in Montana. The show navigates issues with the Broken Rock Indian reservation, the government, and land developers. Viewers love a good family-drama series, and this show checks all the boxes. R E ASON 3
Representation of Ranching & Land Issues This is a huge reason to watch Yellowstone, whether you are an avid Western Industry enthusiast or you are brand new to the industry, there are several issues that the industry is currently facing that the show sheds light on throughout their seasons. In the seasons we have seen so far, the Dutton family faced issues with cattle rustlers, land developers, and threats from the Indian Reservation that the land they own is rightfully theirs. These are all issues, especially developers, that modern ranches face. We could go much deeper into the agriculture issues that permeate the industry, but we should wait and see what Season 5 brings us.
