Steer wrestler Dirk Tavenner joined Amber Dixon for Live at 4:45 from Day 9 of the 2021 National Finals Rodeo.

Dirk is competing in his first NFR, but he’s no stranger to the Thomas & Mack Center. Before qualifying to compete this year, Dirk served as a hazer — a rider who helps keep the steer running straight in steer wrestling competitions — in the last two NFRs, in Las Vegas and Texas.

Tonight through Dec. 11, the Review-Journal will be interviewing a rodeo personality at 4:45 p.m., streamed live on Facebook and reviewjournal.com.

Rodeo events kick off each night at 5:45 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack.
