Steer wrestling is among rodeo’s most demanding timed events. A competitor jumps from a running horse onto a moving steer, controls the animal by the horns, and brings it to the ground on its side with all four legs pointed the same way. The event traces back to the early 1900s and cowboy Bill Pickett. His original technique included biting the steer’s lip, a method no longer allowed under modern rules.

The obverse of the Reverse Proof Texas Mint PRCA Steer Wrestling Silver Round displays the official PRCA logo. This emblem shows a rider on horseback centered within a shield, with the association’s initials in the lower-right. A braided-rope border frames inscriptions noting the association’s full name, along with the round’s weight, purity, and metal content.

On the reverse of the 1 oz Reverse Proof PRCA Steer Wrestling Silver Round, you’ll see a cowboy working to bring a steer to the ground. Scoring is based solely on time. The clock starts when the steer crosses a barrier that provides a head start, and it stops once the animal is down with all four legs facing the same direction. Breaking the barrier early adds ten seconds, and failing to complete the action results in no time. Winning runs are typically between 3 and 5 seconds.
