HOOK 1M COW! 



It is a grim tussle, this second phase of steer bull dogging, in 

 which Lafe Lewman is engaged in a fierce hand-to-horn tussle, 

 as barehanded, the man against brute, seeks to throw the animal 

 by a wrestling twist of the neck, using the horns and muzzle 

 as leverages. Time and again, his horned adversary resorts to a 

 little habit steers have, of trying to crush a man against the 

 fence posts. Sometimes they endeavor to break away or shake 

 him off. 



This bull dogger, is in a somewhat precarious position, having 

 missed his first attempt of twisting the animal's neck clear oyer 

 when his body weight was on the lower horn. The steer having 

 thwarted this move, now has the man between his horns. If the 

 bulldogger succeeds in his present move of twisting up the head 

 by the muzzle and throwing the steer off balance, he wins, but 

 the fence is in the way for this move and at present the odds are 

 with the steer. Time and again the brute tries to crush the man, 

 grimly, the man too, plays the game, asking no odds, receiving 

 none. Sometimes the steers win out, sometimes the men.
