Come On Out

Another name for this tough event is “bull dogging.” It’s a test of strength against strength. Split-second timing is required in this fast, time-elapsing event. The steer wrestler, working with a hazer, launches himself out of his saddle to reach for the steer’s horns. Upon grabbing hold of the horns, the cowboy then plants his heels in the dirt, brings the animal to a halt, twists the powerful head, forcing the steer to ground! With all four feet straight, the judge drops the flag.
