	Steer roping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The steer roper is behind a taut rope fastened with an easily-broken string which is fastened to the rope on the steer.
		When the steer reaches the end of his rope, the string breaks simultaneously releasing the barrier for the roper (Should the roper break the barrier, a 10-second penalty is added to his time).
		Steer roping is not commonly seen as it is difficult for the cowboys and is more likely to injure the steer than either steer wrestling or team roping.

	Booger Barter Team Roping
		Examples of an Eliminator Steer is a steer that badly ducks his head, drags his hind legs, stops in the middle of the run without being hazed by the heeler or run past by the header.
