During the last week on March 1977, Cast 76C was in Great Bend, Kansas. Darcy Close was on PR there, and arranged for the cast to visit a genuine cattle ranch where we had opportunity to participate in a real live calf scramble. This calf scramble event was just like the ones at major rodeos, except that it wasn't televised and we didn't get to later raise the calves as a 4H project. The objective here was to rope the cattle as they ran all over the corral. It involved alot of running, roping, wrestling and a few bumps and bruises along the way.
