One of the cowboy legends is Bill Pickett, a range rider and horse breaker born and raised near Taylor, Texas. Pickett invented the art of bulldogging; bringing down an unruly cow by the horns while biting its upper lip. He perfected bulldogging as a rodeo stunt with the 101 Wild West show in the early 1900s.
