Bill Pickett invented the technique of bulldogging, the skill of grabbing cattle by the horns and wrestling them to the ground. It was known among cattlemen that, with the help of a trained bulldog, a stray steer could be caught. Bill Pickett had seen this happen on many occasions. He thought that if a bulldog could do this feat, he could do it. Pickett practiced his stunt by riding hard, springing from his horse, and wrestling the steer to the ground.
