The team of Jake Barnes and Clay O’Brien Cooper matching the team of Bobby Hurley and Allen Bach for a marathon of 30 steers each. Three different score lengths, good cattle, good arena with the bottom gate closed…and the best two teams in the world. The lead changed hands several times but never did a team have a lead of more than a few seconds. After 29 steers for each team, the total time was the same...right down to the hundredth of a second.
