bulldoggers

Rodeo cattle wrestlers

Bulldoggers are rodeo competitors who practice bulldogging—the sport of leaping from a horse onto a running steer and wrestling it to the ground by its horns.

The event, also called steer wrestling, requires strength, timing, and nerve.

The bulldoggers lined up behind the chutes, waiting for their turn.
