Ace Ashford’s death in August of 2024 shook the team roping and rodeo communities to their cores. The 18-year-old young gun, and younger brother to NFR heeler Ross, was known by everyone as a kind, humble and overall good person.

In this episode of The Short Score, Hill Rodeo Cattle’s Bobby Joe Hill—a longtime friend of the Ashford family and the team roping steer contractor for the NFR—and Ace's dad Troy tell the story of Steer 27, the last rodeo steer Ace ever roped. Steer 27 is making its way to the Ashford home, but there's more to the story between Steer 27 and Ace.
