Gary,
Funny thing, I just posted this and my friend Mike Hora from Washington, IA called and needs help tomorrow. He has a certified Angus beef feedlot and he wants to vaccinate 50 head tomorrow. To answer your question we compete and work cattle for practical purposes. Tomorrow we will be working and not competeing, so I'll be headed down I 380 past your neck of the woods. I live up here by Newhall, IA. We compete a couple times per year. We have 3 man/woman teams and use drawpot. So you might end up with some people that are very experienced and maybe some that aren't so experienced. Makes it fair. The idea is to rope a designated steer/heifer by using various loops. The harder the loop is to throw the more points your team scores. You are disqualified if you lope your horse or stir up the cattle. The designated steer or heifer is cut out of the herd and headed and heeled. the 3rd man on the team gets off his horse and tails down the steer or heifer then proceeds to move the head rope off and puts it on the front legs. Time is then called and ponts are tallied. It is not a timed event however time is used if there is a tie in points. Thus the faster team wins. There is a 6 minute time limit.
To answer your second question, I don't know if Mike Hora has any relatives around the Oxford or West Branch area or not. I do know his mother lives near Wellman and Mike is on the home place near Washington.
I'll wave when I go by in the AM. Will be driving by around 8-8:30 AM.
Sandbur
