Buford


Meet Buford. He is a cowboy's best friend in the evenings when you are waiting to wrangle the horses and having nothing to keep you busy because you have already spent about 7 hours in the saddle that day. He is made out of an old milk crate, lawn mower wheels, a plastic steer head, a board, some sucker rod and a whole lot of welding.

One person catches his horns and then pulls him along. Then someone tries to catch is legs which is sucker rod attached to a board. If the first person misses then the second the other cowboys get a chance to rope the legs. When the person that is healing or roping the legs catches them he then moves into the spot of catching the head.
It helps pass the time in the evenings and helps a cowboy improve his roping skills
