The Pick-Up Men in Bloomington, MN

The Pick-Up Men of rodeo. Life savers, shills for the rodeo clown and announcer. They clean up the arena of reluctant broncs and bulls who have the O.J. Syndrome, they don't want to go to the pen. Pick-Up Men are often overlooked, while the average fan ooos and awws over the contestants in the rough stock events. The fact is, without the Pick-Up Men, those contestants would be risking life and limb more than usual.
