Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 12, 2013

right on…nice artwork

Well, only two things that come out of Texas, Steers and friends of Dorothy.

No. Steer roping is for young people. Rodeo cripples after about age 30 or so, except for a very few.“Bull riders try to keep going for 8 seconds”

I saw a little of the Bull Riding on CBS yesterday and was surprised to see how much protective gear including helmets that the riders were wearing. It’s about time, I guess.

As I understand it, steer wrestling is neither calf roping or bull riding, but where a cowboy riding a horse drops down on an adult steer and wrestles it down by the horns. I used photos from a statue in Fort Worth as a model: http://www.flickr.com/photos/texaseagle/3841182200/

Only a few people can.

I am sure they got the occasional unbranded one. They had to have a way to pull them down to brand them.

They should have run it in February. Bulldogging was invented by a black cowboy.

Awesome! At the PA Farmshow several years ago while watching the bull roping one of the bulls jumped right over the 6 foot gate and ran loose for several minutes through the lower level. WOW! That was exciting.

Yeah, Bruno, I remember that cartoon! If you can do it – Bruno can do it better!!
