The last steer ran for the day in the finals was Stetson Jorgensen, where he clocked a 4.4 taking over the average on four head by two tenths and finishing an 18.5 seconds on four steers.

Jorgensen has had an outstanding winter run this year. Prior to the X-treme he was positioned third in the world. He pocketed another $9,285 just for his average win this weekend. In total, Jorgensen left with $12,752 in earnings.

History was made at the first X-treme Bulldogging Finals in Abilene, Texas, and this is a huge step for steer wrestlers in the industry. The chance to compete for money like this at one event in one location serves to only benefit the cowboys.

It is safe to say that there will be some changes in the world standings after the completion of the X-treme Bulldogging Finals, which paid out over $100,000 yesterday.
