Until last week, though, one prize had always eluded him: the silver and gold belt buckle and embossed saddle that are awarded each year to the winner of the Rodeo Cowboys Association's calf-roping championship-and which, for five straight years, had gone to Idaho's "King of the Ropers,", Dean Oliver...
