I would have to look up the details, but steer wrestling was eliminated from the stampede and possibly all rodeo in Canada for a time. If you see footage of the Stampede before they built the current grandstand, you will see that the steer wrestling is replaced by steer undecorating. Not the steer undecorating you see woman competing in at high school or college rodeos. But an event where the cowboy rides along and drops onto a steer much like bull dogging. Instead of wresting the steer to the ground, the cowboy must remove a ribbon or ribbons from the steers horns. This was before my time, so I don't know why they went away from steer wrestling or why it returned. But is was gone for a period of time.
