UPLB Centennial Rodeo 2009 by Freddy Fajardo, UPLB'64
A handful of UPLB alumni rodeo teams were present during the UPLB Centennial Rodeo held last March 9 to give an exhibition at the Animal and Dairy Sciences Cluster rodeo corral. Due to his late arrival, Brod Steve Ternura was not able to give an exhibition in calf wrestling and bull whipping.

Finally after being lassoed and applying a single hitch method in casting down, the animal is restrained by tying both the hind and fore legs.
