For the third time in his career, Canadian steer wrestler Chance Butterfield has advanced to the semi-finals of RFD-TV’s The American.
Despite COVID-19 restrictions in Canada, he and four other bulldoggers from up north will be in Fort Worth after a two-header qualifier they put together in British Columbia.
“We managed to pool our resources together,” he said. “We had a heckuva jackpot, lots of good steers.”
Butterfield had to go through a lot to get here. In 2017, he almost lost his life breaking up a fight between two horses. Later that same year, he returned to compete at the Canadian Finals Rodeo.
