No calf wrestling or roping skills were used in forging Anthony and Alyce Perkins’ relationship — or so they say. Given that Mr Perkins has won two national calf rope and tie titles, two national team rope and tie titles, a national steer wrestling title and an all-round national title, you can see how there might have been temptation. "Neither of us had to use our calf wrestling or roping skills." Since then, the Mataura couple have married, and now their two boys — Clayton and Hunter — are competing alongside them at rodeos. The boys said they loved riding their pony Buzzer in the barrel racing, and competing against their friends.
