New tie-down roping videos are published on Tuesdays.
Tie-down Roping is one of the oldest traditional rodeo events in rodeo history. Videos documenting the action from jackpots and rodeos are on this playlist arranged from the most recent to the oldest.
This is a timed event similar to breakaway roping with penalties for breaking the barrier and improperly thrown loops, but the ropers do have to dismount and tie three legs together with a piggin string including both hind legs. The calf must remain tied for 6 seconds for a qualified run. The stopwatch is stopped when the piggin string has been tied and the competitor throws up both hands. The fastest times are generally within 7-9 seconds.
In addition to pro-rodeo events, I have documented several jackpot competitions including the Story Vest Memorial Roping, the Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping, and the Three Star Memorial Roping so far.
I am trying a bit harder to cover more of these events and I would love to receive your recommendations for roping jackpots in your area to add to my travel schedule shown below. Please Contact Us!

The playlist below is a mixture of lectures, interviews, presentations, and interactive storytelling videos I have been able to document along with a few from other sources I think are helpful when exploring the rural regions of the USA.

The Wild Cow Milking playlist on Dusty Reins Stories begins with the oldest to the most recently published videos. You will note that the newer ones have been restricted by YouTube but they may be viewed by channel members or viewed on the American Heartlands Channel on Rumble.
Thanks to Rumble, I am able to publish documented events for everyone without fear of losing the whole channel due to ignorance regarding livestock management and handling.
A new momma cow will sometimes not accept her new baby right away but that baby needs help right away if you want it to thrive. That momma's milk contains natural protection from infection and disease in addition to a warm nutritious meal.
If a cowpoke or two can manage to draw some of the mother's milk and dowse the calf's head with it, she is likely to smell her scent on the calf and begin to take care of it as her own. (That works for mavericks too!)
This event is a crowd favorite at most ranch rodeos including WRCA Ranch Rodeos and was included in early rodeos dating back to the 1850s.

The Stray Gathering playlist on Dusty Reins Stories begins with the oldest to the most recently published videos. You will note that the newer ones have been restricted by YouTube but they may be viewed by channel members or viewed on the American Heartlands Channel on Rumble.
These are timed events patterned after the skills needed to manage livestock on large cattle ranches in the American West. In some of those pastures, the closest fence might be a mile or more away.
This event is usually seen at most ranch rodeos including WRCA Ranch Rodeos and was included in early rodeos dating back to the 1860s.
