Steer Wrestling

Steer Wrestling, also known as Bulldogging, is and event where essentially, a cowboy tries to wrestle a nearly 600 pound steer to the ground at a high rate of speed.

RULES:

Alike Team Roping and Tie-Down Roping, the fastest cowboy to wrestle the steer to the ground wins.

  • The steer gets a head start leaving the box, if the cowboy leaves first, he broke the barrier. This automatically gives the bulldogger a ten (10) second penalty to his time.

  • The cowboy will slide down his horse, gripping the horns of the steer to use leverage and wrestle the steer to the ground.

  • The cowboy must get the steer on its side with all four (4) of its feet pointing the same direction.

​

The Sandpoint Rodeo Arena Record for Steer Wrestling was set by Straws Milan in 2016 with a time of 3.6 seconds.
