Have you been to a rodeo lately? Do you know what a rodeo is? Well, in Texas we have rodeos year long. Some are big and some are small.  American-style professional rodeos include: Calf roping, steer roping, bareback riding, bull riding, barrel racing and steer wrestling. Today’s history lesson is about one of the first steer wrestlers in Texas.
