The 46th Annual Duvall Steer Wrestling Jackpot

The Duvall name is well-known and well-respected in the bulldogging community. Roy Duvall is a 3x world champion steer wrestler who still holds the record for most NFR qualifications at 24 years old. Although he never qualified for a gold buckle himself, his younger brother, Bill Duvall, was Roy's hazer throughout his rodeo career and a tremendous part of his older brother's success, especially with it came to winning at The NFR. The Duvalls have continued to compete at a high level of rodeo each generation. Bill and Roy's cousin, Tom Duvall, has been to the NFR; Bill's son's, Sam and Spud, have each qualified 2x; and Sam's son, Riley, has qualified 4x. And with a legacy like that, it's no wonder this family's annual jackpot is a favorite for many bulldoggers.
