Competitorial Old School With six kids ranging in ages from five to twenty, I’m reminded regularly that I’m “old school,” which is a thinly veiled attempt to politely say that I’m old. Though I appreciate their attempt to treat the subject respectfully, even without their help, it’s becoming more and more evident as I view things through the prism of time, that … well…I’m old school.

The reminders are just about everywhere in fact. Even as my unskilled fingers pound away at my keyboard, it can’t be ignored that this process too has evolved from using all ten digits, to that of feverishly attacking a miniature keyboard with thumbs-ablazing, producing strings of a morphed dialog that somehow passes for the written English, language. It makes me think of Ms. Rael, and sweating away those hot afternoons in her typing class row after row of Olympias, slapping characters against clean white sheets of paper, amid a staggered chorus of “ding,” that was soon followed by the thud of the returning carriage as it advanced to the next line. I wonder if she feels betrayed by the advancement of technology? I hope not, as I have no intention of trading in my typing skills…limited as they may be… for “tt” (my newly coined texting abbreviation for “thumb typing”…I’m so hip).

Days of yore, that’s me for sure. There’s a generation of kids who can’t even imagine the norms by which those of us in our forties and older lived. Some of it is just downright hilarious by today’s standards. I wonder, for instance, how many clay ashtrays were produced in art class during the 70’s….no doubt the most popular and widely accepted fired clay project of all time. Looking back from a time, when it’s illegal to smoke almost anywhere, it’s hard to imagine your mom setting out the “good ashtrays” whenever company was expected.

Needless to say, rodeo and its derivatives have come a long way as well. Of course I’m talking about a time when the only things pierced were earlobes, and only on women. In addition, I remember when sponsors were something that only other sports had. Nobody would ever have imagined a time when a cowboy’s shirt rivaled that of a race car.

Anyone remember those soft-handled bareback riggings? I’ll admit, that’s what I had when I first crawled down on one….I’ll bet it’s still at my parents house somewhere.

Trust me on this …the change was good.

Upgrading to that “Bob Blackwood” was definitely a step forward.

Yes…it’s hard for the roughy’s of today to even imagine the sport without the most

USTRC - New Mexico Championships Earnings. Second place was the Texas team of Ben Pierce and Kip Middleton and third place went to New Mexico’s Scott Marshall and Jim Allred. Jerry Trujillo and Dominic Silva won the Incentive Average.

Trujillo moved into the second day of team roping action and placed first in the Gold Plus Division with heeler Carlos Barajas from San Rafael, New Mexico.

They were 34.95 seconds on four steers and earned $2,732, trophy Gist buckles and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

Second place was Dusty and Terry Leatherwood and third place went to Bill

common of accessories in their war bags. I mean, believe it or not, there was a time when it actually didn’t look like a hockey game was fixin’ to break out behind the bucking chutes before the bull riding.

Protective equipment? The closest thing to protective equipment in “the day” was a copy of the New Testament you got from a “camp meeting.” It never left the bag. I do remember having a really nice, down-filled vest that I thought would take the edge off a bad “get-off”…but never wore it for fear I might tear it up.

What about barrel racing? Who would have thought it would come to this? The amount of money barrel racers spend on “accessories” has always been notable, but who would have ever believed that spending the amount they do on horses today would be such a commonplace. I mean, barrel horses trained as barrel horses? For the most part, those of yesteryear were most commonly rejects from anything considered useful. Let’s be honest, the number one candidate for a barrel horse use to be a runaway doggin’ horse that would simply no longer stand in the box.

And then there’s roping. Do they even make “King” ropes anymore? And does anyone remember stretching their rope with a pickup and a tree? If you really want to go pull out the old school? Grab a rope and tie a hondo in it in front of a bunch of young ropers….they’ll look at you like you just did a magic trick. And watch their eyes

glaze over when you start talking about the day when ropes only came in two colors; white and white. And ropes without tail tags….forget about it!

Of course the biggest change in team roping is the amount of money you can win.

But like they say…the more things change, the more they stay the same. Even though payouts have reached unimaginable levels, unfortunately, with prices on everything what they are today, a good day roping is still one where it just about pays for the fuel to get you there and back home.

Yep, after consideration, I think I’m going to gladly accept the “old School” label from my kids…and for those of you that are in the same boat, I recommend you do the same. When we see each other we can fondly reminisce about the old times and proudly wear the “old school” badge… .all the while, privately thinking of one another….“Damn, you look old!”

New Qualifying System is Big Hit with Ropers The finals for the 29th Annual George Strait Team Roping Classic were held at the Rose Palace in San Antonio. Forty-two year old David Key from Stephenville, Texas and twenty-three year old Jade Corkill from Fallen, Nevada became the new Grand Champions. Fifty teams returned to compete in the finals from nearly 500 teams who competed Friday in the preliminaries. This year, founder George Strait made a significant change to how ropers qualified for Saturday finals and cowboys welcomed the new system.

In years past, first day qualifying included two rounds of eliminations with all teams competing together. This year, the 500 teams were broken down into groups of 50 and the Top 5 fastest times from each round qualified for Saturday’s finals. The change resulted in ropers competing against only 49 other ropers versus 100s at a time and an even playing field with the steers in their rotation.

“The new qualifying systems is the fairest way to do it,” says Key. “In the past, the first ropers sometimes got the short end of the stick because it is harder to rope those steers. The later it went the easier it got. No doubt about it, this is better.”

“It’s a little more nerve-racking,” admitted Corkill who won the prestigious event in 2009. “When it’s your rotation, you have to be on your game. Before, you might know if you roped a certain time you’d make it in, now it’s all depends on what happens in your rotation.”

Grand Champions Key (Header) and Corkill (Heeler) finished with a 15.62 combined time (3 go rounds) and each of them rode away with custom painted GSTRC Championship Chevy Silverado Duallies from Cavendar Chevrolet (Boerne, TX), Strait X-treme horse trailers from Bruton Trailers, Twister saddles from Tractor Supply, Resitol roping bags, jackets from Wrangler and Justin, Montaqna Silver Smith Belt Buckles and half of the $174,600 cash payoff.

Both agreed Strait’s event is the “roping of a lifetime.” “This roping changes lives,” said Key. “People can work all year and don’t make this kind of money. It’s something I have dreamed about for the 20 plus years I have been coming. Thank you Jesus! Thank you George!” Corkill added, “Twelve days ago my son was born. It can’t get any better than that. Winning today ranks number 2 on my list. It’s been a great 12 days in my life!”

The total cash payoff of this year’s GSTRC was $522,500. Add in prizes and the cash value awarded this weekend was over $650,000.

Second place winners, Spencer Mitchell and Cody Cowden took home $69,840 and prizes with a time of 16.10. Third place went to Camish Jennings and Wade Clayton with a time of 16.84. They won $48,016 and other prizes. The 50 Finalists were awarded custom-made 29th Annual GSTRC jackets from Wrangler and Justin.

The 29th Annual George Strait Team Roping Classic (GSTRC) took place Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, 2011 at the San Antonio Rose Palace in San Antonio, Texas.

Jenkins Wins PBR Albuquerque for Second Time More than 25,000 watch the three-day event at the world-famous Pit!

N

ew Mexico native L.J. Jenkins sent more than 8,000 fans at the worldfamous Pit home happy on Sunday when he finished first at the Professional Bull Riders Sandia Resort & Casino presents the Ty Murray Invitational.

It is the second time that the Texico, N.M., native has won the event, having finished first in Albuquerque in 2008. It is the fifth career win for Jenkins, who led the event from start to finish, winning Round 1 on Friday, and the Built Ford Tough Short Round on Saturday. In the 15th season in Albuquerque, the event drew more than 25,000 for three performances.

In the Built Ford Tough Championship Round on Sunday, the bulls were perfect, dispatching all of the Top 10 riders in the event.

Jenkins finished with 355.5 points, four points ahead of Farmington, N.M., native Ryan McConnel. McConnel and 2009 PBR World Champion Kody Lostroh of Longmont, Colo., tied for first in Round 4 with 88.25 points. Jenkins moved up to sixth in the Built Ford Tough Series standings, while McConnel climbed into the Top 10 at eighth.

In the championship round draft,

Valdiron de Oliveira of Aparecida de Goiania, Brazil, selected Bushwacker, who showed why he is the leading contender for World Champion Bull, dispatching the topranked rider in the world in 3.1 seconds.

The buckoff ended a streak of 13 consecutive rides for Oliveira, tying him with PBR co-founder and nine-time World Champion Ty Murray for the third-longest streak in PBR history. The record is 15 rides in a row by Terry Don West.

Oliveira remains the top-ranked rider, while Austin Meier of Kinta, Okla., moves back into second place. 2010 PBR Rookie of the Year Silvano Alves of Pilar du Sol, Brazil, took over the No. 3 spot.

Albuquerque is the 12th stop on the nationally-televised BFTS, which makes 28 stops in 23 states. The season began at worldfamous Madison Square Garden in New York, and culminates Oct. 26-30 in Las Vegas

at the richest bull riding event in the world, the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals.

The Finals is where the 2011 PBR World Champion will be crowned and awarded the $1 million Built Ford Tough bonus.

The BFTS travels to Kansas City, Mo., next weekend for the U.S. Bank Invitational Presented by The Split by WinStar World Casino. Bull riding begins at 6:50 p.m. CT on Saturday, April 2, and at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday, April 3. Tickets begin at $10 and are available at www.TicketMaster.com and by telephone at 800-745-3000.

Injury update: J.B. Mauney is questionable for Kansas City after injuring his left knee on Sunday. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday. Travis Briscoe is out for two-to-six weeks, straining his right hip adductor in Round 1 and aggravating the injury in Round 2.

World Champs Produce DNCFR Title in Bareback Riding Courtesy of PRCA

B

obby Mote and Classic Pro Rodeo’s Big Tex have a lot in common – both are tremendous athletes. Mote is one of the elite bareback riders in rodeo who owns four Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world championships. Big Tex is one of the elite bareback riding horses that has collaborated on some of the highest marked rides in the sport.

Oh, and they’re both the reigning world champions in their categories, Mote holding the 2010 gold buckle and Big Tex wearing the 2010 halter. On April 3, the two matched moves for 90 points to split the final Round victory at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo at Jim Norick Arena – Kaycee Feild scored 90 on Carr Pro Rodeo’s Deuces Night – but Mote earned the victory because of his semifinal Roundwinning 85-point ride on Carr’s Big Lights.

“He’s an awesome horse, a big horse that fits my style,” said Mote, a nine-time DNCFR qualifier who won his first national circuit championship in the event’s inaugural run in Oklahoma City. “There’s nothing better than when you come down to the final-four Rounds, and you know you’ve got to go after it because of what’s going on.

“I crave getting in that position.”

He must. After Feild posted his score to take the lead in the championship Round, Mote and Big Tex danced across the arena to match the score – Mote knew he had to be 90 or better to claim the elusive championship. Still, Feild, the son of sixtime world champion Lewis Feild, walked away from Jim Norick Arena with $17,961 in earnings over four days; Mote was second best among bareback riders with $13,354.

Jesse Wright of Milford, Utah, earned the biggest check of the weekend while winning the saddle bronc riding for the second consecutive year. Wright banked $19,195. His biggest check came in the final Round, when he rode the 2010 saddle bronc horse of the year, Vold Rodeo’s Painted Valley, for 83 points, just a point better than 2007 world champion Taos Muncy of Corona, N.M. “I wanted a work truck, so now I can get one,” said Wright, referring to the $20,000 voucher event champions earned with their winning weekend. “I hope I can keep the momentum going. Hopefully, I can make the finals again this year. That’s the plan, anyway.”

Tie-down roper Tyson Durfey has four qualifications to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and owns two Canadian

Finals Rodeo titles. He wanted to add the DNCFR title to his trophy case.

“This event has always been important to me,” said Durfey of Colbert, Wash. “Growing up in Missouri, Billy Huber was a legend in that area. Even my brother and my dad went to the circuit finals, so growing up, everybody that I looked up to was going to the circuit finals.”

Other event winners were steer wrestler Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore. (3.6 seconds); team ropers Ross Lowry, Summerville, Ga./Stephen Britnell, Maryville, Tenn. (10.5 seconds); barrel racer Tana Renick, Kingston, Okla. (15.30 seconds); and bull rider Allen Helmuth, Ellensburg, Wash., whose 71 points on Rafter G Rodeo’s Big D in the semifinal Round held up for the national title after all the bull riders failed to make a qualified ride in the finals. Seth Murphy, from South Heart, N.D., won the all-aRound title with $3,702 in steer wrestling and tie-down roping competition.

The Columbia River Circuit won the team championship for the first time since 1991 with total earnings of $80,811.

NAA – National All Amateurs Thoughts from Ty As we enter the final week of the Arizona season, it’s amazing to look back and realize we’ve awarded five new Ford trucks over the past 60 days! During our time in Arizona, we hosted 15,000 teams and handed out six NAA Southern Region championships.

Congratulations to everyone who roped at the National All Amateur southern events this season!

That said, we’re only about 30 days from kicking off the NAA Northern Region tour.

I’ve had lots of requests from other producers to add NAA ropings to their schedules, I’ve decided to add a few and see how they go.

Three ropings are scheduled in North Dakota this summer so that those ropers have an opportunity to get qualified for the Finals.

We’re also working on adding one more roping each in Wyoming and Montana.

National All Amateurs memberships in 2011 are complimentary if you’re over 70 years of age or have a current USTRC membership. Otherwise, they’re just $40.

The team roping industry has seen lots of changes over the past year in regard to classifications – it seems as if everyone has a lower number somewhere. Don’t worry, we’ll consider your classification in nonUSTRC organizations in determining your NAA number.

Enjoy the springtime sunshine!

ACTRA Arizona Wraps Up!

T

hank you to the Arizona Board of Directors who worked very hard to produce the AZ ACTRA Southwest Qualifier. The Board of Directors are the strength of the Association.

Beaver Bird’s Horseworld Arena in Wickenburg, AZ was packed with trailers, kids, puppies, snowbirds and ropers of all ages for a fun filled, exciting weekend of team roping. “Families Came To Rope” and competed in 7 different ropings over the two day event. There were a total of 629 teams, a considerable increase over last year. $50,500 in cash and prizes was up for grabs including $4,200 added money. Everyone who competed qualified for the ACTRA

National Finals to be held this October in Reno, Nevada. In addition to cash, winners took home 10 Cactus/Scott Thomas trophy saddles, Cactus wool saddle blankets with leather corner plates, Cactus halters with leather nosebands, Professional’s Choice bell boots, Wrangler gift cards, Winner’s Circle handmade buckle displays and gift certificates from local sponsors, Serenity Farms, Double D Western World and the Fireside Grill.

Throughout the winter, additional ropings and arena producers offered ropers four different ACTRA roping arenas to rope at each week. This easily made it possible to qualify to rope in the SW

My Cowboy Heroes

Gene Aguirre Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson Gene on his 100th birthday!

Drawing is of Gene Aguirre in his twenties, artist unknown

Gene dressed up as De Anza in 1976

A

I might add, ranchers in the American Southwest. The pioneering Aguirre family helped settle and develop this country through mining, freighting, trading and ranching during the 1800s just as they had done in Mexico during the 1700s. You can read the history books and find that many historians have documented the adventures of my family extensively.”

When Gene was a boy in the early 1900s, stories told to him had only happened a few years earlier and then, details were recounted to him a few short years later. One such story Gene liked to tell is of the time his Great Uncle, Epifanio Aguirre, made headlines by being credited with saving the stage that ran from Socorro, New Mexico to El Paso, Texas back in 1864.

“Uncle Epifanio was traveling with his wife, their two small children and a couple of servants in a big four wheeled ambulance and also a saddle horse. They were following the stage and about 8 soldiers and wagons brought up the rear. Out in the middle of the Jornada Del Muerto between Las Cruces and Socorro, New Mexico, they were jumped by a large band of Apaches.

They said it was Cochise.

“Luckily only a few of the Apaches were armed with rifles, and the rest just had bows and arrows. When they were attacked, Uncle Epifanio mounted the saddle horse and ran out in front of the stage with a pistol in each hand and the bridle reins in his teeth. He would empty his pistols and clear a path for the stage and then run back to his coach where his wife would hand him two more loaded pistols! This went on for a while and it was very touch and go as they tried to lose the Apaches.

“The passengers on the stage and the soldiers also fired at will, but it was said that Uncle Epifanio showed courage above and beyond what any of them had ever seen before. After several miles of a running battle, a small village came into view. It was only then the Apaches finally decided to quit the attack.” Said Gene Aguirre of the

couple years ago, I told you about Don Yginio F. Aguirre, the 100-yearold walking and talking history book.

Unfortunately, on March 26th 2011 at the ripe ol’ age of 101 and 1/2, Mr. Aguirre passed on to the next realm.

Born September 10, 1909 in what was then the Arizona Territory (Arizona became a state in 1912) Yginio (Gene) Aguirre started life on a large desert cattle ranch near Red Rock.

As a young boy Gene inquisitively inquired and listened to stories told by his dad and uncles. Stories of family history told to them by their dads and uncles.

Things like freighting on the old Santa Fe Trail, stories about fighting wild Indians before the west was settled, stories about developing mines, ranches and businesses…about developing the west in general. These were first and second hand accounts of the way things actually were in the mid and late 1800s, not stuff merely read in books. These were stories young Gene grew up on.

The Aguirre families were Spanish Noblemen from the “old country” (Spain) before they migrated to “New Spain” (what is now Old Mexico) in the late 1600s and early 1700s. The Aguirre’s played a part in the settlement of Mexico and soon were among the leading families in Chihuahua and the State of Sonora. By the mid 1800s however, political ties were strained in Mexico when Don Pedro Aguirre (Gene’s Great, Great Grandfather) backed the wrong politician who wound up loosing an election; then for “health reasons” (fear of being shot) the family patriarch decided to move his clan north. The adventurous Aguirre’s were off to conquer new frontiers in what is now the southwestern United States.

“My Aguirre ancestors were some of the first freighters to haul hundreds of tons of freight across the Santa Fe Trail from Missouri to New Mexico and point’s beyond.” Gene would say. “And the Aguirre family was also some of the first, and finest,

battle some 145 years later!

Indians south of Sasabe, AZ later killed Epifanio near the Mexico border. Gene would chuckle and say, “Those Indians and my uncle always had a thing for each other.”

It’s a good thing stories such as this were told to Gene, for you see, he guarded the stories and traditions passed on to him well.

Telling other people the true history as it was told to him was a favorite pastime of Gene’s. Fortunately he did not waste the gift. Gene wrote 4 books on the subject of settling the west, about history and how his family was involved. What a treat for anyone who loves history or Old West tales to have known Gene or have one of his books.

Not only did Gene have a tremendous family history of pioneers and nobility to his credit, but he was a great trailblazer and an accomplished man himself. Gene grew up living the cowboy’s dream on his father and uncle’s ranches in the Red Rock, Arizona area. These large ranchos ran as many as 8,000 to 10,000 head of cattle in their heyday and the young man was fortunate to grow up working with some of the best cowboys of the entire southwest.

These cowboys were actually Vaqueros and had been practicing the art of handling cattle for generations in the area. Most of our current knowledge and traditions of cowboying are direct spin-offs of what old time vaqueros taught the first Anglo cattlemen back then.

According to Gene, he grew up, “Learning the art of cowboying from the best vaqueros in the land and learning the business of being a cattleman from his family.” One of Gene’s other Great Uncles, Pedro Aguirre, is credited with developing the famed Buenos Aires ranch along the Arizona - Mexico border. This ranch started as a stage stop circa 1860s, went on to run around 15,000 head of sheep and cattle during Pedro’s tenure, and now is a large wildlife preserve. Gene started with quite a set of cowboy / pioneer credentials!

It only seemed natural, that as Gene became his own man, he would follow in the ranching traditions of his ancestors. In his early years, Gene ran cattle in Northern Mexico and Southern Arizona. He bought, sold, traded and raised livestock while continuing to help the Aguirre family operations near Red Rock. He continued ranching and buying cattle in Mexico to be fattened out and sold in America right up till the late 1940s…then had a lifestyle change for a few years.

In the late ‘40s an event happened that moved Gene in another exciting direction.

You see, it was then the dreaded hoof and mouth disease was discovered in Old Mexico. The United States and Mexican governments decided to fight it there before it spread all across Mexico, and inevitably

into the United States. Young men from the southwestern United States who could speak Spanish and had a ranching background were highly sought after for this mission. So Gene loaded up his young family and moved to Mexico to work on the eradication of the hoof and mouth disease or La Comision Mexico-Americana para la eradicacion de la Fiebre Aftosa as it was called on that side of the border.

During the late 40s and early 50s, Gene worked for the American Government on the Aftosa comision. He worked as a livestock inspector, a supervisor of livestock inspectors and an appraiser of livestock.

Gene’s tales of those years could be likened to stories of the American Frontier in the late 1800s. Imagine a foreigner coming in and telling a poor farmer he is going to shoot all of his animals, his only means of a living, and then promising him the government will make it right with him later. Resistance from the locals was inevitable but that was part of the task Americans took on. Gene lived and saw a way of life most Americans will never seen.

He had many adventures.

Gene says, “I saw things that you would not believe today. I forded swollen rivers during flood season on a Mule, crossed high mountain passes where the trails were narrow, slippery and treacherous; and even faced down armed men while standing up for my job and what was right. It was pretty tricky down there a time or two!”

If you ever get a chance to read books or talk to the folks who went to Mexico during those years, I highly recommend it. Most accounts are amazing, down right impressive! Kind of like old west adventures happening in more modern times. The work those men did in Mexico save the American cattle industry millions of dollars and ton’s of headaches, even to this very day.

While in Mexico, Gene continued his ranching ventures. Every once in a while he would take time off to buy or sell cattle somewhere in Mexico. Even though he currently had a job, it did not stop him from running cattle on the side. He leased ranches here and there, or at times put together loads of cattle to be shipped other places. Ranching was in the Aguirre blood.

When Gene left Mexico, upon the completion of the eradication, he came back to Red Rock where he helped run the family operations once again and also to ranch on his own. He felt like he was back where he belonged at the Aguirre family Ranches.

It was the perfect place for Gene to raise his family.

As Gene got older, it became evident his background and family history were something special. Not only were they special to him and his immediate family but to the people of the Southwest as well. By the time he reached retirement age, there weren’t many people still alive having had first hand experience with the old time vaqueros or with pioneering families who had tamed the west. The old stories handed down to him as a boy were now considered historical. People who keep track of history took note.

“In 1976, Arizona, to honor the bicentennial celebration, decided to re-enact the second march of the Don Juan Bautista De Anza expedition, and they chose me to portray the part of De Anza” Gene recalled with pride.

Who else should they choose to play the part of a Spanish nobleman and frontiersman but a descended of those very things?

It was an honor for Gene to be involved

ll-Around in this celebration of the west, especially since his own ancestors were involved with the wild frontier. The ride started off in Sonora, Mexico and wound up in San Francisco, California. Gene participated in the part from Sonora, Mexico to Yuma, Arizona. In addition, the Historical Society leaned heavily upon Gene’s knowledge to add a flare of authenticity to the event.

“They were always asking me about the old Presidial Soldiers my family told me about as a boy” Gene said about preparation for the re-enactment.

After Gene’s retirement in the mid 1970s, he became deeply involved with the Arizona Historical Society. Not long thereafter, Gene decided to start writing down what he knew. Gene wrote 4 books, all filled with great adventures and of course, history. True history. At times Gene would remember an event about a certain Vaquero and himself chasing a wild steer, or perhaps gathering wild mustangs and he would jot it down. He also wrote quite a bit about his experiences in Mexico while on the Aftosa Comision. His stories were well written and entertaining. As a bonus, they are as close as one can get to being historically accurate. After all, he was there!

Gene researched his family’s history all the way back to the old country in Spain.

For one of his books he traveled all over Mexico and Spain doing research. His father and uncles told him stories as a young man, but he took it a step farther and went back and found the old documentation.

“I went to ancient churches and government offices all over Mexico and Spain. I poured over all of the old records that I could find. Each place, each new discovery, would lead me to a new adventure in another town,” Gene said of the research. This was quite an undertaking, but well worth it, Gene was proud of his ancestry.

When asked about the secret of longevity; Gene had this to say “Well I eat meat, potatoes and beans on a regular basis and maybe enjoy a glass of red wine now and then. But most of all you have to enjoy life. You can’t go around worried and stressed out all of the time; you have to have fun. You need to smile.”

That advice worked well for Gene as he did enjoy a long, full life…101.5 years worth! Yginio F. Aguirre was a true gentleman, cowboy, and pioneer. Simply put, “Un Caballero.”

Jim Olson is a ranch-raised cowboy, author, promoter and businessman. Growing up on the high plains of eastern New Mexico he learned to ride young colts, tend to cattle and drive heavy farm equipment at an early age.

Jim spent a few years competing in the calf roping event at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association level, qualifying for the circuit finals a few times. Now he is a weekend team roper. He lives on and operates his own ranch near Stanfield, Arizona, once a part of John Wayne’s Red River Ranch.

These great life experiences Jim now uses in his writing career. He writes stories about interesting and extraordinary people of the west including short stories of both fiction and nonfiction. He writes a monthly column titled “My Cowboy Heroes,” published by several Southwestern and national magazines. Jim currently has two books in print and is constantly working on several other projects as well. Jim can be reached through his website at www.mycowboyheroes.com

World Series of Team Roping Bonus Rotation Added

Chauncey Kirby

Special Heartland Announcement!

We have developed an added or Bonus Feature for those of you entering the Heartland Finales. First let me describe a potential problem that scared us away from once again holding qualifiers at Heartland. That potential was based on Reliable, Professional Hoof Care what happened in Las Vegas in 2007, and Shoes to fit your individual in part what happened last year at Heartland. In 2007 we held a warm-up horse’s needs roping in Vegas at $200 per man, and let ropers enter only once if they were entered in our Finale. Four Hundred and fifty teams later we realized what we had done, and we just didn’t do that again.

Keeping that in mind, let me describe the Heartland situation last year.

We expected Heartland team counts to be low last year since it was our very first year. When entries were completed the Finale divisions averaged 125 teams each.

Even with three full rounds we felt we had plenty of time to run the qualifiers.

But when everyone in the Finale entered the qualifiers twice, and mixed in the local Oklahoma ropers, nearly every qualifier was pushing 300 teams. It was hard on the ropers and cattle.

So in preparing for this years MONTH-APR 2011 BUILT BY-P/U W/CHGS DP IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D Heartland we asked ourselves what if?

Email: khart41@yahoo.com What if the Finales grow to 200 teams and more locals show up. The potential of www.faithfoto.com 1\4 V (4.9 x 6.6) taking the focus off of our finale and turning a championship event into a major marathon seemed more than a possibility. This isn,t what we are all about.

The Bonus Rotation

www.silverandsaddles.com

The Heartland format is $1,000/roper pre-enter, four steer average, three full rounds, three head consolation. Every team placing in the average qualifies for the Grand Finale in Vegas. This year we will be offering a Bonus Rotation in each Heartland Finale division. Contestants entered in a Heartland division may purchase a second entry with a second partner for $200/roper. You may enter onsite or reserve an entry, but the trick here is that these Bonus teams will all run progressively in the first rotation prior to the beginning of the $2000 teams. These Bonus Rotation teams are progressive so they are not eligible for any 3 Head Consolation money.

The Bonus Team is a second entry and you may NOT enter a second time with the same partner. The list for each division will be posted on-line one week prior to Heartland. There will be ample time to locate a second partner on-site.

The question we anticipate the most is “Can I bring a second partner that is not already entered in the Finale?” The answer is——yes, however that partner will pay $1,000 to enter. It will be well understood that this will be a $1,200 Bonus Rotation team (progressive) vs. the $400 bonus team.

In conclusion, we believe this is our best option for giving you more roping, reducing your per entry cost, retaining maximum leverage on the payout and at

the same time allows us to estimate a controllable team count. Entries don’t always rise, but just in case they do, we will be ready.

CBR

C

hampionship Bull Riding Inc. announced recently that veteran rodeo commentator Butch Knowles will join its broadcast team for the upcoming 2011 television season on Great American country (GAC). Knowles will join host Jeff Medders and provide color commentary during the twenty six weeks of the CINCH CBR Tour broadcasts. In addition, CBR President Tuff Hedeman and GAC’s Suzanne Alexander will continue to provide in- show commentary, contestant interviews and analysis to the highly rated bull riding series.

Knowles brings years of television broadcast experience to CBR. For the past 23 years he has provided the color commentary for the National Finals Rodeo telecast on ESPN. Prior to his television career, Butch was a very successful saddle bronc rider with 4 NFR qualifications. He won the NFR average title in 1987. Prior to his professional career, Butch won a National High School All Around title and was collegiate All Around runner up twice.

George Paul “Showdown” factors and Tulsa There is a showdown coming to Del Rio for the 34th George Paul Memorial Bull riding. The showdown could feature the first time in the history of the event the son of a former George Paul winner will claim the title. Two men have that chance. Clayton Foltyn, son of the 1983 George Paul winner Lane Foltyn, and Bonner Bolton, son of Toya Bolton, the 1991 champion may claim their dad’s title. Both sons of former champions have come close to winning the George Paul.

Bolton in 2008 and Foltyn in 2010. As of this date, the two Texas bull riders are ranked number one and number two for the CBR world championship in 2011. Foltyn occupies the number one position and Bolton is 452.75 points behind Foltyn in second place. Bolton won Las Vegas last week and seems to be on the start of a hot streak. Never, never, never count out Foltyn.

There are other factors present in the next several weeks that could interrupt the plans of both riders race for a world championship. I am not a statistical guru

but, if you have 40 bull riders entered in the George Paul, the chance either if these two could claim the title is 5%. Other factors are three events prior to the George Paul showdown. First, there is Tulsa. A majority of the top 35 ranked CBR bull riders are entered in Tulsa. It should prove to be an outstanding bull riding this weekend. No one who buys a ticket should be disappointed at the riders entered and the bulls they will try and ride.

Consistency always plays an important role in any sport and when you look at Chandler Bownds, Cooper Kanngiesser, J.W. Harris, Clayton Williams, Cody Atwood, they, and any of the other top CBR riders all are capable of winning Tulsa or any other event.

Horizon Series events are also playing an important role in determining the CBR race for a world championship and with Stephenville, TX April 15, and a new event West, TX, April 30, the national ranking positions may have changed by Del Rio. Why is that important? The answer is simple.

Winning a CBR World Championship at season’s end will load the champions Cinch jeans with a bundle of cash. Points, not dollars, determine who a world champion will be so EVERY ride counts because every point counts. Rider’s scores determine points.

Pressure is generally self imposed. No one can effect what another rider does or doesn’t do unless head games come into play. If the “Showdown” riders are still ranked one and two by Del Rio, the watching will be nail biting.

The CBR World Championship race is getting tighter and tighter because of the quality of riders and the quality of bulls.

Tulsa is a great bull riding town and the event will be worth your investment of time because odds are you will see the next CBR world champion in the making. You will also have a preview of the two key players in the Del Rio “Showdown”.

23rd Annual Prescott All Breed Bull Sale

B Y R YA N D AV I S

I

have to say there has not been too much dirt flying this month, or none that I heard anyway! Let me re-phrase that. I am not talking about literal dirt, because for the last couple of months, every time I need to do something outside, it seems the wind is blowing about 50 mph and there is plenty of dirt flying around. But the rodeo dirt has stayed rather low and in fact it seems everything is going great when it comes to rodeo and roping in the Southwest.

So instead of throwing any dirt this month, I will shower all of you with some of the good news of the recent month or so.

Of course Arizona residents waved goodbye to most of the snow-birds who have packed up and left the state, but not without leaving behind lots of action inside team roping arenas! Least to say, the winter season looked pretty good when compared to the overall national economy. Lots of events paid out lots of cash and prizes to a whole load of ropers.

Staying in the sunshine state, and focusing on the GCPRA; the amateur rodeo association has hosted several great events since the start of the year and look to be well on their way to a great rodeo season ahead.

The USTRC made a big change that landed the New Mexico Championships in Clovis, New Mexico instead of Albuquerque this year. The results – more teams than last year. I am sure there was a much smaller check cut to the hosting facility from the USTRC and ropers didn’t have to fork over five-bucks every time they drove through the gate. So

really it was a win-win for a whole lot of ropers who enjoyed the roping.

The NMRA kicked off the 2011 season in March with an event that seemed to set a great tone for the remainder of the year. The event, although not dubbed a membership drive rodeo had the feeling of one as contestants from all across the state hit the blacktop to compete at the event hosted in Bernalillo, New Mexico.

Several new events was exciting to see fill with contestants and the NMRA and the rather new set of board members have to be happy to see the success of their hard work come together. Nothing but summer rodeos and the year-end finals are ahead and rodeo competitors can be sure that the amateur association is well on its way to a great season.

Word Series of Team Roping events are continuing to attract ropers all across the Southwest. A recent event hosted in Albuquerque at the Bernalillo County Sherriff’s Posse Arena was outstanding with winners walking away with full pockets of cash. With other recent events that stretch from California to Oklahoma, ropers are getting a chance to attend these events more and more and fill their checking accounts with a lots and lots of greenbacks.

That about wraps it up for the month, and wow – the only dirt is the grit in my teeth from running out to the truck to grab my cell phone. Yep – the wind is still blowing and like everyone else, I am ready for it to stop!

Until Next Time Dirt – Keep it under your feet!

Bricoe’s Corner Managing Injuries

F

or those who follow New Mexico’s PBR talent, Travis Briscoe, know that he has been on the injured list of the bull riding tour since he tore his groin at the Ty Murray Invitation in Albuquerque, NM. The injury no doubt sidetracked Briscoe’s season, but as a veteran of the sport, he has been in this situation before and has a solid routine to get well and back on tour as soon as he can without suffering further injuries.

For young bull riders and rough stock contestants, a solid plan should be considered for times when injuries occur.

Briscoe does what is needed for the physical injury. That includes three days a week at the Southwest Physical Therapy office in Albuquerque, NM. There he does stretches, they perform ultrasounds, use lots of ice on his injury and massages not only to the injured area but other areas of his body that are suffering due to the initial injury. This is all done to help the healing process under the supervision of medically trained Physical Therapist. To further the recovery time, he does more stretches and applies more ice each day at home as advised by the Physical Therapist.

Briscoe says the most important aspect of getting back on tour and ready to compete is staying mentally strong. He says he is staying active in the bull riding scene, staying connected to the sport without actually riding bulls to help. Being

focused on everything around him and getting healthy, not on what he needs to do when he comes back is one way he keeps mentally strong, which he believes is one of the biggest obstacles that can overcome a bull rider. This carries into the actual competition scene when a rider is on tour.

Being able not to toy with the mental game helps a rider keep his confidence.

“If that means you wear the same pair of socks or underwear each time you get on or if you always put your boots on, left foot first and then the right, or whatever it takes to keep that edge, always helps the mental game,” says Briscoe.

Briscoe is staying focused on the future by being focused on the now. He says he is excited for the future of his family and everything is going good with Jessie’s pregnancy. They are expecting their new arrival on June 10th. In addition he is excited about his new business adventure and the Custom Hat Shop just east of Albuquerque, as well as his involvement in the ‘Riding on Faith’ Bull Riding camp which is planned for June 1-6 in Maxwell, NM. Among those involved in this camp and dedicated to the sport and faith include: Laddan Ledbetter, Ely Ganzer, Travis Briscoe, L.J. Jenkins, Matt Austin, D.J. Domangue, Bonner Bolton, Shane Proctor and Randy Quartieri. There will also be an appearance by Cody, Shawn Hogg, Ryan McConnel and Bobby Welch.

An Emotional Triumph For Adams Brothers At Logandale, Nevada If not exactly a farewell to rodeo, the team roping win by brothers Jay and Randon Adams in the Clark County Fair & Rodeo had an air of finality to it. This was the first rodeo in the Adams’ hometown since their father, Wes, died Feb. 18, the first one where Wes could not be seen – midway up the grandstand – gesturing and offering advice, and the first since both brothers decided to get off the rodeo road and devote their full energies to their family’s businesses.

The Logandale rodeo committee had formally dedicated this Wrangler Million Dollar Silver Tour rodeo to Wes Adams’ memory, and his sons had quietly dedicated themselves to winning the team roping for the simplest of all reasons: because they knew it would have made their dad happy.

When their younger brother, Austin, paired with header Jake Stanley to win the first round and Jay and Randon won the twohead average, there was a heady brew of smiles and tears in the Clark County Fairgrounds on April 10.

“It was emotional, real emotional,” Jay Adams said. “Words can’t express. The committee, the fans, even the other competitors were rooting for us to do well.

It meant so much to us to win the rodeo.

“I didn’t really get choked up until a guy came up to me this morning (Monday) at the gas station and said, ‘Hey, I want you to know what you and your brother did in the arena means to our community. It lifted us up, gave us joy.’ My dad worked very hard and took a long time to be accepted for what he did (in the community). Now that he’s gone, it feels good to hear that people understood and appreciated him.”

Randon, the 2008 world champion team roping heeler, had decided late last year – after finishing 16th in the standings and just missing his fifth Wrangler National Finals Rodeo – that it was the right time to transition his life into business. Jay has been trying to take his athletic apparel business, Bex Products, to the next level and had decided to end his partnership with Austin to focus on Bex and to help elder brother, Weston, with other aspects of the family’s construction, heavy equipment, underground utility and ranch businesses.

Given that neither Jay nor Randon was planning a full season of rodeo competition, they agreed to rope together as they had as kids and into the early years of their pro careers. They entered a handful of major rodeos, including Fort Worth and San Antonio, and while they didn’t win any titles, they had steady earnings.

Then came Logandale. When brother Austin and Jake Stanley won the first round in 4.8 seconds, Jay and Randon tied for second with Travis Tryan and Rich Skelton, a tenth-of-a-second back. A steady 5.1second run in round two carried them to the average title over Spencer Mitchell and Broc Cresta (10.0 to 10.2) and $5,564 each.

“I scored well and took a high percentage shot,” Jay Adams said. “Randon threw fast at both of them, on the first hop.

We roped just the way dad always coached us to do.”

Both of them are working at least 40hour weeks in the “real world” now, checking into their offices at 7 a.m. and taking on a steep learning curve.

“Dad was such a multi-tasker that it takes all three brothers to do one-tenth of what he did,” Jay Adams said. “We have heavy hearts, but we are carrying on, trying every day to make the businesses better.”

What happens with the rodeo side of things, well, that’s not completely certain.

“Like my mom said at dinner last night, ‘I hate the word retired,’” Jay Adams said, “but I would be surprised if we left Wilderness Circuit competition very much. We might go to Cheyenne (Wyo.), but Randon and I are both hellbent on staying home.”

Randon seems even less sure about what happens next in his rodeo life. “We might go to a couple of them,” he said, “or possibly none of them. I moved home last year to spend time with my dad and start working for the business. My uncle died on Nov. 12 – my dad’s brother – and my dad died three months later.

“I’d already made my mind up to learn the business and help Weston. We are a very close family, and it’s the right time.

I’m ready for this transition.”

The surest sign that Randon is stepping away from the sport he loves is that he has turned over his four-time AQHA/PRCA Team Roping (Heeling) Horse of the Year Diesel to Austin to use for the rest of the year.

The other champions at the Clark County arena were all-around cowboy Rhen Richard ($2,101 in team roping and tie-down roping), bareback rider Jake Vold (87 points), steer wrestler Stockton Graves (8.6 seconds on two head), saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell (87 points), tiedown roper Tuf Cooper (16.9 seconds on two head), bull rider Jake Wade (90 points) and barrel racer Angie Meadors (17.23 seconds).

ProRodeo Hall Of Fame Pays Tribute To All Facets of Sport with 2011 Induction Class The ProRodeo Hall of Fame will be paying tribute to all facets of America’s first extreme sport with a 2011 induction class that includes two contestants, a rodeo wheelhorse, a standout animal athlete, a longtime contract personnel act and a rodeo committee.

The July 16 ceremony in the garden area of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy will enshrine the late three-time World Champion cowboy Burel Mulkey, twotime World Champion Bareback Rider Lan LaJeunesse, PRCA Chairman of the Board and longtime San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Keith Martin, the late three-time PRCA Bucking Horse of the Year War Paint, trick rider/roper J.W. Stoker and the Deadwood (S.D.) Days of ’76 rodeo.

The Brazile Watch All-around titles at Rodeo Austin and the Walker County Fair & Rodeo in Huntsville, Texas, put another $7,781 in Trevor Brazile’s accounts, and brought his total earnings for the year to $74,781, just $201 ahead of last year’s pace. His career earnings are now at $3,971,649 as he moves inexorably towards becoming the sport’s first $4 million cowboy. Brazile also

leads the steer roping world standings, is fifth among team roping headers and sixth in the tie-down roping

PBR and Lucas Oil Products Announce Partnership Lucas Oil becomes Official Automotive Oil & Additive of the PBR The Professional Bull Riders announced that Lucas Oil has been signed as a national partner for the remainder of the 2011 Built Ford Tough Series.

The BFTS event in Duluth, Ga., on May 13-14 will be the Lucas Oil Invitational, and Lucas Oil will also be the title sponsor for the PBR Fan Zone at the BFTS event in Tampa, Fla., on Apr. 9-10. The partnership also includes involvement in the PBR Canadian Cup Series.

“Lucas Oil has a rich heritage in sports marketing, primarily in motorsports. We look forward to our participation in the Professional Bull Riders series as a new arena to promote Lucas Oil products. It is evident that the PBR is a dynamic and exciting series to watch,” says Lucas Oil Chief Administrative Officer Tom Fredrickson. “We look forward to a successful 2011 season as we become the official oil and additives sponsor of the

series as well as a new advertising partner of the PBR Built Ford Tough Series.”

“The PBR is excited to announce a new national partnership with such an established brand as Lucas Oil Products,” said Jim Haworth, CEO of the PBR. “We look forward to working with Lucas Oil to promote their superb line of automotive oil and problem-solving additive products to our growing PBR fan base while allowing the PBR brand to be introduced to a new consumer audience.”

Featuring the Top 40 bull riders in the world competing against the fiercest bucking bulls, the nationally-televised BFTS makes 28 stops in 23 states. The season began at world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York, and culminates Oct. 26-30 in Las Vegas at the richest bull riding event in the world, the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals. The Finals is where the 2011 PBR World Champion will be crowned and awarded the $1 million Built Ford Tough bonus.

PBR Co-Founder Murray Inducted Into Arizona Sports Hall of Fame Home state is latest to honor the ‘King of the Cowboys’ The Professional Bull Riders is proud to announce that co-founder and nine-time World Champion Ty Murray is being inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.

The induction ceremony will be at 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 31, at Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino in Chandler, Arizona.

Joining Murray in the Class of 2011 are six-time All-Star and three-time World Series winner Curt Schilling, 12-time Pro Bowl and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Randall McDaniel, and Olympic gold medalist Kerri Strug.

“I am honored and appreciative of being selected along with other athletes who are the tops in their field,” said Murray. “This is very special because it is in my home state where I grew up, and a lot of my childhood friends and friends of the family will be in attendance. They are the ones who knew what my dream was when I was a kid, and it is nice to share something like this with them.”

Nicknamed the “King of the Cowboys,” Murray was inducted into the PBR Ring of Honor in 2002 and has been a member of the PBR Board of Directors since 2000. He won the PBR World Finals event title in 1999, and was the PBR Reserve World

Champion the following three years.

The Phoenix native was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2000, and won seven PRCA World Champion all-around titles and two PRCA World Champion bull riding titles. He was the youngest rider to win the PRCA All-Around World Championship at 20 years old, and the youngest millionaire in rodeo history at 23 years old. In 1987, at the age of 16, he won the National High School Rodeo Association All-Around and Bareback titles, and the Little Britches Rodeo Association Senior Men’s All-Around title.

He is also a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum Rodeo Hall of Fame.

“He was a great bull rider, and established a level of excellence,” said Baseball Hall of Fame member Nolan Ryan.

“More than that, with the PBR, he has taken the sport to a new level, and opened the door to whole new world of opportunities for the bull rider. He made his impact as a competitor, and will leave a legacy for his efforts after his riding career.”

Founded in 1957 by the Phoenix Press Box Association, the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame is currently operated by the Phoenix Regional Sports Commission.

Letter to the members of the New Mexico Rodeo Association from John Adams, NMRA President.

Dear Members, Rodeo committees and Stock contractors, Coaching little league baseball is a new experience for me, Wow! Those moms sure are passionate about their little bundles of love…. Now you might ask yourself “He’s the President of the NMRA, he’s coaching little league, he just bought out a herd of cows from his boss when the cattle market is at an all time high, he’s holding down a full time job, he is starting a new partnership with his roping buddy and he is still trying to practice and go to rodeos, who does he think he is, Mother Teresa?” Ok maybe you didn’t say that, actually that sounds more like something my wife would say.

“Stepping up to the plate” is what this letter really is all about. I had not planned on running for NMRA President and I had not planned on coaching little league baseball. I did it because I was asked by others, but more importantly I did it because I felt like because of my fifty years of life experience I might actually be able to make a difference.

One thing I have learned in my life on this earth is the importance of effective communication. I have also learned that the lack of effective communication causes misperceptions in the lives of others. These misperceptions can become rooted in peoples thought processes and so therefore it becomes “their reality.” Case in point: Our relationship with the TCRA has been questionable at best in recent years. Why? Well I decided to start asking questions to find out, and what I discovered is that TCRA board members had gotten some really bad information about our incentive events and ultimately that was

the reason co-sanctioning with them has become such a big problem. Some of the same types of things existed with the CPRA and the GCPRA and the end result was every ones rodeos suffered including ours.

I set a goal: “To significantly improve our relationships this year with our neighboring rodeo associations so as to positively impact our members, rodeo committees and stock contractors.”

I started by looking at this thing from a geographic perspective after having had a conversation with Buster Webb. During our conversation it suddenly became obvious to me the tight rope that our stock contractors have to walk in order to simply “get along” with all the various associations. I asked myself, how on earth would we as a member driven association possibly benefit from alienating our neighbors or one of our most important assets, our stock contractors. The answer is “we don’t.”

I want to thank our stock contractors for everything you folks do for us as members of the NMRA and I want you to know that my pledge to you as president is that I will always listen to you and if it is within my power to help you I will. I also want to thank Chuck Coletti (president of the CPRA), Paul Carmen (president of the GCPRA) and Janie Riemer of the TCRA. You guys are great to work with and I feel a very positive wind blowing for rodeo in the southwest this year.

Effective communication is your responsibility as an individual! If you are not getting the desired result then change the way that you communicate, you might be surprised by the doors that open for you.

Thank you for listening, and if all goes as planned, by the next issue I will have some great news for you about our NMRA finals.

Good luck and we will see you down the road.

tradition and incredible excitement.

No matter the weather elements on Sunday, April 3, 2011, the 54th AIRCA summer rodeo season kicked off with a bang!

When the dust from the strong wind settled, veteran time-event specialist Roderick Tso of Fort Defiance, Arizona was announced as the rodeo’s All-Around cowboy. Tso placed second in the tie-down roping event and also entered the team roping event. Tso collected $340 and a pair of spurs for his effort.

There were approximately 295 entries with a pay-out total amount of $16,423 for the one day rodeo.

Joining Tso as event champions included: Leroy Etsitty who won $423 on a time of 10.3 in the tie down roping event; the team of Cody Hunter and Lucius Sells earned $1,207 with a time of 6.4 in the open team roping event; Earl Tsosie Jr. picked up where he left off last year by scoring a 69 on “Show Time” of the Scott Rodeo Company string and collected $183 in the bareback riding event; Scott Rodeo Company’s bronc “Silver Dollar” enabled veteran cowboy Robert Burbank to win $411 on a 74 point ride; 2010 year-end champion Troy James wasted no time in scoring 77 on Ray Jones Rodeo Company’s bull “Spiddy” while collecting $541; Steer wrestler Tyler Pete made a swift time of 4.6 and won $680 on Boyd Cattle Company’s time event cattle; 2010 year-end champion April Willie spun her rope to catch and win $514 with a time of 4.4 in the ladies’ breakaway roping event; Ruth Bitsui of Corrales, NM rode with determination and speed to finish the clover leaf pattern in a time of 17.426 to win $577 in the ladies’ barrel racing event; Cody Ben and Tyler Willeto teamed up to head and heeled in a time of 6.7 and collected $1,030 as a team in the #10 team roping event; Mentor to PRCA’s top ten team roper Derrick Begay, Victor Begay caught his calf in a sizzling time of 3.6 and picked up $229 along with former PRCA rookie of the year Leonard Williams Sr. who also had the same time and amount in the senior breakaway roping event; 2010 year-end reserve champion junior barrel racer won the event with a time of 18.108 with a pay day of $246; and “Get Western” of Jones Rodeo stock was conquered by Ernest Spencer in the junior bull riding event to win $202 by scoring a 67.

THE FIRST 5 STRAND CALF ROPE WITH A CORE What happens when five strands of low stretch poly fibers are woven around a solid braided core? You get a rope with speed and snap as quick as a viper’s strike, but with more consistency and less stretch than any calf rope on the market today.

With the feel of your favorite polygrass and the strength and stability that only Coretech can give,you won’t break this rope. And like a viper, its the same every time…

Deadly accurate.

President’s Column Update

After our great district finals, the barrel racing just kept on going up in Farmington.

We co-sanctioned our first race with Colorado District 8 and everyone had a lot of fun. Our goal is to keep traveling to a manageable distance with the cost of gas rising. We will travel to Durango on July 3rd for our second sanctioned race and thank their district director, Patti Carlisle who always brings cheers and happiness to any race!. At our non NBHA sanctioned races we are having ‘mulligans” and so far have raised nearly $900 toward our goal of another $15,000 added money for next year’s district finals.

We have a new big weekend coming up this month. Over Memorial Day weekend on Sunday and Monday we will be having a target saddle race with the horse/rider team that runs the two closest times getting a saddle with other prizes to 2nd place. In addition we are trying something else new: Spectator Side Pots. This allows all the families and friends in the stands to get more involved for $10 and have a chance to win alongside the runners! We encourage everyone to come and run at one of our races...fun in Farmington!

s your current WPRA President this will be my last update to you., As you know, the results of the 2011 Election process will be available early next week.

Although I chose not to run for the position again, I am excited about what has been accomplished while I was at the helm as your President and equally excited for the next President., Along with this Board of Directors, I have worked very hard to leave the WPRA on solid footing for continued growth., 2010 was a successful year on many fronts. The association’s bottom line is healthy., The 2010 WPRA World Finals was a financial turnaround., Sponsor partnership relations have increased. Open dialogue has been established with many more rodeo committees., We have identified and worked common interest areas with the PRCA., The list goes on.

One of the big eye-openers for anyone being elected to the Board as an Officer or Director is learning there are many moving parts contributing to the WPRA’s ability to deliver a quality, professional product to our members, rodeo committees and sponsors.

There are equally as many factors affecting those moving parts to result in success.

There are no magic answers or immediate fixes., Let’s look back at 2010!

Bottom Line - Net Asset Change of $89,000 One area, which I would like to elaborate on, is the financial stability. This past Monday night (3/28), the WPRA auditor took the Board of Directors through a draft of the 2010 Financial audit. The results were very good. The auditor was very pleased with all the improvements made to both our business processes and business decisions and the impact of them on the association’s bottom line., The WPRA has an audited change in Net Assets of $89,000., I couldn’t be more pleased., By adhering to strict income, expense and budget management discipline, your Board delivered results by being financially responsible. This quite a testament during economically challenging times.

World Finals Financial Turnaround - The World Finals Achieved Breakeven The WPRA World Finals is important to our business mix., But, as all would agree, it needed attention and changes., By changing the location, updating the format, finding sponsors specifically interested in that type of event, and applying the right resources to drive all aspects of production, we have put it in the position to stand on its own., It is now in a position to get better, grow in a positive way and, with time, contribute to the WPRA’s bottom line.

Sponsor Partnerships - Growing More corporations are considering the WPRA as an opportunity., The economy has not been kind to anyone and sponsors have definitely felt the impact. Despite that, we have been very actively working with sponsors to help them see the unique opportunity the WPRA presents. The WPRA has gotten very focused in terms of supporting and bringing more value to our current sponsors, identifying new sponsors and providing creative opportunities, which they did not have before. We are pleased, our sponsor list grew in 2010 and we expect more growth in 2011.

Open Dialog with Rodeo Committees Leads to Improvements for Competitors A strategic decision to actively participate in both the PRCA’s Annual Convention and the Association of Rodeo Committees has given us an opportunity to have a dialogue with our many committees in a forum where they are actively seeking information. These two key events allow us to provide a clear and consistent message to all committees. As an example, we have been focusing on explaining the impact of ground conditions and what it means to our members in terms of fair competition, safety, and protecting their equine investments. It was amazing to see the reaction of the Committees when we told our story. In addition, the opening of a oneon-one dialogue with both the DNCFR and Omaha Committees is leading to sponsor opportunities which should help the WPRA in future years.

Opportunities between the WPRA & the PRCA - Joint Marketing Agreement The Joint Marketing Agreement is an agreement between the WPRA and PRCA to seek partnership with certain types of sponsorship opportunities. Several joint pitches have been made to date. One is actively going through the contract stage at present time and new ones are being lined up for the rest of the year. I am optimistic the Joint Marketing Agreement will lead to more opportunities and a stronger partnership with the PRCA. I would also like to recognize and acknowledge the fantastic job our staff and contract personnel have done over these past two years. Directed by Janet Cropper, this small group stepped up to the plate and delivered every time they were challenged., Few members will ever realize the tremendous effort and volume of work they took on., I appreciate their professionalism more than words can say.

In closing, the past 10 years serving on the Board of Directors and the last two as President have been a rewarding and memorable experience. As I go forward, I’m sure there is some challenge within the sport I can busy myself with., It is really all I know how to do., So, until it crosses my path and I have an opportunity to rodeo with you again, I wish you all Happy Trails!

Sincerely, Kathi Myers

Goats and Caves

I

recently came across the following in a U.S. government publication: “Realistically, livestock are the primary practical tools for altering vegetation on rangelands because of environmental concerns about herbicides and the high costs of treating vast acreages of rangeland.”

The story described a “recent development” called “conservation grazing,” and said it had “resulted in a marked shift in the once negative views of cattle grazing held by many environmentalists and conservationists.”

I was amazed. Of course, the story listed a number of “tradeoffs” as well, but still, it was quite surprising to see such statements in a government publication (“Agricultural Research”).

Last month, a southern New Mexico city’s use of goats for weed control made its local paper’s front page – with photos. It turned out the city’s cost was hugely less for the weed-eating goats than it would have been for the equipment, human workers, etc., to do the same thing. The goats did a better, more complete job, too. Discussions currently are underway to hire the goats for weed-clearing in other parts of the city.

It wasn’t a “new” discovery. Many oldtimers could have told them it would work. I remember visiting with an old-time rancher as we watched a set of high-powered (on paper) bulls sell. The guy sitting beside the auctioneer extolled the wonderful numbers of one particular bull as the gate opened for him to come into the sale ring. That bull’s papers said his Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) showed amazingly low birth weights, exceptional growth and high weaning

weights, all the characteristics needed to produce beef cattle that make cash registers jingle happily all the way up the marketing chain.

After the gate opened, the ringmen had to push the bull through. He could barely walk.

My old-timer friend smiled at me and said quietly, “The old-time cattlemen knew a lot more than they were given credit for.”

I’m thinking the old timers should be consulted about many other animal and range initiatives. Using food products – like corn to produce energy comes to mind. Milk and cheese prices have leaped higher. Why? Partly because of the corn that dairy cows need to eat is being used to make ethanol.

Livestock feed – especially corn – has doubled in price in the past year. In fact, any food product linked to grain – cereal, dairy products and meat – is rising in price. Wanta guess who’s paying for that increase?

After the food products are ready, they must be hauled to market. That means transportation costs. Gas prices increased 4.7 percent in February according to government data.

The United States has plenty of oil, gas and coal to help us out, but of course we are told we can’t use that.

In the American Southwest, some anthropologists have decided a one hundredyear drouth caused the inhabitants to leave, beginning about 1200 A.D. or so. One friend laughed and said, “They looked at their timepieces and said, ‘Oh, it’s 1200 A.D. Time for us to leave.’”

Such a drouth would make this discussion moot. Meanwhile, we can brush up on our “good cave-keeping” skills.
