Maury Tate’s Mo’ Betta Calf Roping was around enough years that you can count on a few things. Count on just-right weather, showers threatening. Count on all the “big names” showing up. Count on down-home hospitality from the Apache, Oklahoma folks—rattlesnakes included. Count on a unique tying contest that is a highlight of each year’s video. Mike Johnson went up against Fred Whitfield in 1992, with a match that you can't miss.
