Winnemucca, Nevada’s Ranch Hand Rodeo Weekend is the largest of its kind. Filling our hometown with people from across the West, this event provides Winnemucca a time to shine. The folks who come to this one know it’s about real life, real ranching and real satisfaction for a job well done. It’s about stretching our legs after a long cold winter, looking forward to green grass and sunshine. Ranch Hand Rodeo has become part of our culture, part of the celebrated traditions of the Great Basin. Thirty-two years ago, three ranching brothers decided to kick off a little friendly competition between neighbors by hosting the first
WT BRUCE
annual Ranch Hand Rodeo in Winnemucca. For Tim, Hank, and Dan Dufurrena, the idea was to draw together teams who would go head to head in saddle bronc riding, cow mugging, calf roping, team brand-
ing, team roping, and ranch doctoring. Today’s event also includes the ever-popular trailer loading and women’s steer stopping. The Humboldt County Agricultural District No. 3
is committed to preserving the heritage and lifestyle of the working ranch cowboy. From May 5-9, Winnemucca, Nevada will swell as the 32nd annual Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo Weekend is held at the Winnemucca Event Center. The entire Ranch Hand Rodeo Weekend will kick off Wednesday, May 5, with the Winnemucca Cow Dog Trials. Add to that a top-notch Ranch, Rope and Performance Horse Sale, Stock Horse Competition, Western Trade Show, Barrel Bash, and Wild Horse Racing, and you’ve got one heck of a regional competition.
