Pictorial of the Intermediate Ranch Roping Clinic held on September, 2005 and hosted by Clayton and Ragan Lee.

	PB was in the hackamore at this time and I am showing a backhand swing to the participants
Using teamwork to set up a shot for a fella offscreen while keeping the cow quiet and calm.
	Lily being "helpful" while I set the forelegs to allow us to hold the cow stretched and still while doctoring, without choking her by a neck loop.
Letting the cow settle after her second time struggling. After this second attempt to free herself she is liable to stay calm and still while I reset the neck loop around her forelegs.
	Stepping PB's hindquarters over to pull the hindlegs up off the ground a little better. This will help keep the cow from struggling and give me better control if she does while the forelegs are being set in the loop.
Working to get the forelegs set quickly while the cow is still thinking she can't get up.
