[Bill Pickett]? invented the sport of bulldogging near the end of the 1800's, and introduced it to the world as a part of his act in the [101 Wild West Show]? in 1905. His version of the sport was performed on longhorn steers. After having grasped the horns of the fleeing animal, he would twist its head skyward and bite its upper lip in order to subdue it, after the fashion of the cowdog breed known as bulldogs. This is where the sport got its name. Pickett died at age 70, after having been kicked in the head while working horses at the 101 Ranch. [Will Rogers]? announced his funeral on the radio.
