#kauaitonight Thursday, February 24 2022 The Rodeo is On at 7 pm . We get to see the Best Muley Roping. It is still winter-spring so we move along from Koloa to #Waimea to the @waimea_town_celebration celebration. Muley = hornless. 'You big boys seem to be like the muley cows in Oklahoma, who do not like to hook horns because muley cows by definition don't have horns. ... Boys will rope muley steers or calves at all rodeos; no roping steers will be used. Lets watch as men and wahine “women” paniolo “hawaiian ranchers” show you how they take on the task to “bring home the beef” during these competitions.
