Cowhands generally have their own definition of fun and challenge.
Prerequisites for participation are a willingness to eat dirt and the ability to hold your own with an ornery steer or goat. Decorating This event requires a two-person team. One member stands ten feet from the chute gate holding the end of a 25 foot rope, which is looped around the steer's horns. The other team member stands 40 feet from the chute and has a 24-inch long ribbon. When the chute gate opens, the team must bring the steer out and across the ten foot line.
