Image from a rodeo I attended in January 2009. This poor steer had been roped so many times, it decided to just lay there. What's the use of getting up? Another one from the "bin".

I don't like this... is it sport? I don't know, we don't have it and I am happy. I love the horses and the poor steer.

Rodeo stock get better care, food, and attention than that of it's peers. I know it is hard for some people to understand, but rodeo people love their livestock, and they take care of their livestock. And getting roped a few times a week provides a much better life what happens to most steers. Which would you prefer, a rodeo arena, or a feedlot being gorged for the butcher?

The poor thing must have been so exhausted to do that. Interesting capture.

Great action picture Pat.
That steer has brains to give some passive resistance but I can't help but feel sorry for it :(

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

This is a very nice shot . I have seen many calves that just get use to the game and will lay down with an attitude what's the use I'm just going to be roped again . I have had calves turn the cutting game on myself and my horse and charge us. Depends on the calf , some have more of an attitude . Most rodeos and those associated with them make sure the calves are rotated that are used for roping , cutting and bulldoggin' to keep them fresh and healthy. Yes there are those that don't . Just like with anything else there's good and bad in all walks of life.
