The third pen of steers at the 2023 Wrangler National Finals averages 525 lbs, and this should be the fastest pen of team roping steers that will go in Rounds 6 and 9 as well.

With three great chances early, three of the top teams could put pressure on the pack to speed up in a big way.

Clint Summers and Jake Long: 48

Medium, and one of the go-round picks

Andrew Ward and Buddy Hawkins: 50

Medium and high-headed, so it’s a chance to be fast.

Tanner Tomlinson and Patrick Smith: 58

Medium, with a possible round win chance.

Erich Rogers and Paul Eaves: 54

This is the curly hair charolais. He’s medium and wide-legged.

Rhen Richard and Jeremy Buhler: 45

Medium

Coleman Proctor and Logan Medlin: 51

Medium-plus, probably the strongest one of the pen.

Dustin Egusquiza and Levi Lord: 55

Medium plus and a step to the right in the run-through both times.

Nelson Wyatt and Jonathan Torres: 14

Medium

Derrick Begay and Colter Todd: 19

Medium plus

Kaleb Driggers and Junior Noguiera: 59

Medium

Tyler Wade and Wesley Thorp: 49

Medium plus

Luke Brown and Hunter Koch: 11

Medium and level-headed

Jake Cooper Clay and Tyler Worley: 18

Medium plus

Marcus Theriot and Cole Curry: 60

This is the red and white Hereford. This is the fourth year there’s been a 60 on a Hereford, and every year they’ve won at least one to two rounds on a #60 Hereford. He’s medium, high-headed and steps right. This is the best chance for the go-round win.

Clay Smith and Paden Bray: 39

Medium
