How to Get Your Header To Pull Them into Your Loop
There's a humorous saying that I've used for years about different guys I've roped with, mostly Jake, that "I just throw my loop down there and he pulls them in it." Trying to get your header to pull steers into your loop is just another way of saying there has to be communication between... | read »
