Background
Think about what we learned from Old Yeller and the Bear about cattle drives and cowboys.
•Cattle needed to be moved from Texas to the railroad in Kansas.
•They needed workers (cowboys) to help move the cattle.
Background
The first cowboys were called vaqueros, a Spanish word meaning ranch hand.
•They developed the tools and equipment used by cowboys.
•They developed the techniques (or ways of doing things) used by cowboys.
Background
Rodeos were competitions developed to show off the skills of cowboys and vaqueros.
•The cowboys had to show skills by doing tasks like roping, riding horses, and riding bulls.
•Some of these became big shows that traveled from town to town attracting audiences in the thousands.
Background
Bulldogging is a way of controlling a steer by grabbing their horns and twisting their neck.
