Steer Ropers Get Their Due

Wyoming hosted the first-ever National Circuit Finals Steer Roping this month in Torrington. It was good to hear the expertise of announcer Jim Thompson and great to see so many younger ropers compete. Harold Bumguardner is one of the seasoned fellows instrumental in getting the event staged. Harold won the all-around at Cheyenne in ’84 and it was a real pleasure interviewing him then as it was in Torrington:

Harold Bumguardner now lives in Torrington. He owns not only a Cheyenne all-around buckle but has also won championships at the Daddy in steer roping and senior steer roping.

Powell, Wyoming bull rider Kanin Asay was able to make a trip to the pay window to close out the Clovis, California rodeo this past weekend. Asay’s 85-point ride on a bull called Triple Threat was good enough for fifth place and $1,100.00

Asay’s good friend and fellow bull rider Chance Smart won the Clovis event scoring a 90 on Burch Rodeo’s (Rozet, WY) Magic Man.

Nice piece of video. I have to admit, Wyoming has the best events ever (my family is from the Flathead Lake area in Montana).

That brought back some memories. Think I need to make another trip out for Frontier Days. Thanks.

Thanks for the good trippin' coverage. There are simply too many people out there that don't understand many of these events. We just added Steer Roping to the San Antonio Stock Show for 2011. We're excited. Hopefully we can get coverage as positive as yours. Keep on with the great blog. - James
