The Cheyenne Frontier Days’ team roping is a true test of the best headers and heelers in the world on a hand-pulled, 30-foot score.
In the rodeo’s new tournament-style format, the best went head-to-head in the slack qualifier July 17, followed by a wild-card round where the teams that didn’t make it back got to rope a second steer.
