Stock contractor John Growney said he would like to see tougher rules in the tie-down roping competition that would prevent the calves from being jerked to the ground after they are roped. He cited a rule in Canada that disqualifies a cowboy if the calf’s feet leave the ground, a rule he says U.S. cowboys adjust to just fine when competing north of the border.
He’s not worried about the bulls and bucking horses.
“The best bulls, the best horses, they love to be spurred,” he said. “They love a cowboy on ‘em, because they know they want to plant the son of a gun in the ground.”
