abor Day weekend is a great weekend for team roping and a getaway. The Pine Country Classic in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Fort Tuthill County Fairgrounds certainly fit the bill.

OCTOBER 2011

Competitorial W

here did the summer go? It seems like just yesterday, we were grappling with the HV virus and wondering how it would affect the upcoming season. A few hot, dry days later, and here we are, looking at the end of it. Whether it be rodeo, team roping, or barrel racing, season-ending finals are just around the corner, soon to be followed by a winter break that gives us a chance to reflect on both our season successes and those agonizing disappointments. Then, it all starts again, with everyone starting out with a renewed sense of energy and optimism, that this will be “the year.” It’s a cycle that has repeated itself for as long as anyone can remember and will undoubtedly continue well into the foreseeable future. It’s a cycle that has endured global wars, recessions, a depression, marriages, divorces, family additions, family deaths and more… and it just keeps chugging along. It’s durable, to be sure, this cycle of what some may note as pure insanity. So, what is it that drives this chase? Certainly it’s not the money. Yes, there are those that hit a big one once in a while, but even then, when measured against a lifetime of investment, not including the countless hours of practice, I doubt there are more than handful that have ever come out ahead at the end… and maybe none at

all. So then, why? Why is all this energy and effort applied year after year in hope that upon the conclusion of some fall “finals” you might be known as “Champion?” My personal theory is that mankind is inherently, genetically, predisposed to achieve. I think that’s why we are at the top of the food chain… why we keep dogs for pets instead of the other way around. My theory is that it likely started out as an instinct to simply survive, that has somehow morphed into a desire to do something better than someone else. There’s really no other explanation for it as I see it. How else can you explain why winning feels so good and losing feels so bad? And it’s real… Another contributing factor is the fact that there are no more dinosaurs to slay. Not only did we grapple our way to the top of the food chain because of an inherent sense to achieve, but also because I think we are an aggressive species by nature. How else can you explain how we used to live in caves and were somehow able to keep from becoming dinner? We fought it out... we were aggressive… we WON! Over the eons of time that aggressiveness has been toned down. Society has told us that aggression is bad, even uncivilized. Unfortunately, I think for a lot of people in this country, many of

Utah dominated in the #9 Division as they took first, second and third place in the main Average and first place in the Incentive Average. The winners of the roping were Link and Klay Chynoweth with a time of 35.63 seconds on four steers. They won $4,424, trophy Martin saddles and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second was Clint Moore and Klay Chynoweth and Third place went to Caide Roberts and Paxton Cooper. Karlie Pearson and Jace Mitchell

were the Incentive winners. The final roping of the weekend was the #8 Pick/Draw. Larry Stephey from Kingman, Arizona finished first and second in the Main Average. He place first with header Chris Badonie from Chinle, Arizona and second with Jesus Guerrero from Phoenix, Arizona. Third place was Jerrod Nez and Freeland Long. The Pine County Classic in Flagstaff, Arizona wound down on Labor Day and ropers really enjoyed the event. There was lots of money and some outstanding prizes on the line.

these traits have been all but bred out of us. Embarrassingly, I have to say that we have become a country of wimps. Still, there are a few of us who have retained a fair measure of those original instincts, and those instincts are screaming for a way to be exercised. Combine the predisposition to achieve, with the fact that there are no more dinosaurs or dragons to slay, and you have the makings of a competitor. Of course I thinks it’s the act of competing itself that drives most of us, and it’s the winning, or even the possibility of winning that gives validity to the competition. Have you ever noticed that after a good win everything in the world is better? Your job is better, food tastes better… yes even your wife/husband looks better… hey… I’m just sayin’… everything is better. And the reverse is true as well. A disappointing loss makes your boss seem like a bigger jackass than usual, nothing tastes all that great, and your spouse… well… All I’m saying is that it’s real. I think that the motivation to win is different for some than others. For some. It’s about the accomplishment itself and everything that goes along with it… the accolades, recognition, etc. For others, I think it’s more about the process of figuring out how to get it done. Whichever the case, it feels good, and I think the

feeling is enhanced by the amount of effort that’s required to accomplish it. And so, that is where we are around this time each year. A year’s worth of practice, sacrifice, and grinding it out against all the odds will be put on the line as we head out to our respective, season-ending finals. For most, it will end with bitter disappointment, and thoughts of what could have been. For a few others however, the outcome may be one that satisfies a year, decade, or even a lifetime, of personal achievement, and leaves you with that sweet taste of victory we all seek…. …Good luck.

First, you must have sent in your money for a stall or stalls, the USTRC will send you a postcard confirming your reservation. Make sure to bring this card with you and give it to the Express Check-In attendant after following the signs at the fairgrounds. All of the stalls have been pre-bedded, but you may want to consider adding some extra shavings if you plan to stay for more than a couple of days. Shavings will be available at the Fairgrounds.

Changes to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds Over the last two years CINCH NFTR participants noticed some huge changes at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. The place has continued to renovate and improve, so as ropers arrive at this year’s CINCH NFTR they will notice that the State Fairgrounds had gone through some more renovations and changes over the past year. It will be crucial for everyone to pay attention to where things are because some things may have moved to be more convenient and roper friendly. The USTRC Office will be located inside the main coliseum between the roping boxes and Barn #1 warm-up arena.

Are You Entered? All in all this years CINCH NFTR will be an outstanding event and the USTRC welcomes everyone to attend.

One last thing before we see you at the Finals — Enjoy this years Finals at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. This is what you have been chasing all year long. The USTRC producers and the people behind the scene at the USTRC headquarters in Stephenville, Texas work all year long to bring ropers a top of the line, quality production.

11th Annual Tribute to Ranching By Jim Olson

Sonoita Arizona Ranch Rodeo Held September 10th and 11th, 2011, the Sonoita Ranch Rodeo and Tribute to Ranching has become one of the West’s premier ranch competitions. Although no one will stand up and take credit as being the originator of the event, the general consensus of folks queried say the idea started as the brain-child of Diane Collins, with Deborah Fellows and many other volunteers working hard to get the ball rolling. The Ann Spradling Foundation has also been a major sponsor and supporter since the beginning. This year’s event was ram-rodded by Mike and Beth Hughes, but they are quick to point out this is a community effort. “Everything is donated,” says Mike. “All the prizes, the contestant/sponsor appreciation BBQ, the stock, everything. This allows us to pay back 100% of the contestant’s entry fees in the rodeo and we even have $500 added in the ranch horse competition. The community is really behind this deal.” Saturday, the 10th kicked off the celebration with a ranch horse competition, showcasing some of the best horseflesh and cowboys in the business. Not only cowboys, I might add, but several cowgirl entries were present also. As a matter of fact, the overall competition and the “Super Select” (anyone over 50 or a girl of any age) were won by Lindsey Hughes, a local cowgirl and quite the “hand.” Riders were competing for a custom Deborah Fellows bronze among other great prizes. A BBQ followed for all contestants, sponsors and volunteers. As folks enjoyed a fine meal surrounded by beautiful southern Arizona mountain scenery, entries were taken for the Kids Ranch Rodeo. The Kids Ranch Rodeo is a unique and fun event - definitely a crowd pleaser. Kids were drawn into teams of four at random. The youngsters had to rope a heading dummy then head into a round-pen full of goats where they had to milk one, flank and mark one’s head like he had been doctored, then get the ribbon off of another’s tail. Time was called for when all this was completed and the entire team left the pen, closing the gate. The winning team received beautiful belt buckles and prizes were given all the way to the 5th place team. As the ranch rodeo teams lined the arena for the grand entry, Sonora Cubillas sang a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. Ed Ashurst then gave a moving tribute speech to honor the 10th anniversary of 9-11-01. The Ranch Rodeo started off with a unique and crowd-pleasing event called the “bell calf roping.” In each of two different sections, eight contestants entered the arena where nine calves were turned loose; one of the calves had a bell around its neck. The contestants had to jockey for position, sort off, rope and tie down any one of the calves not wearing the bell. Once they had a calf tied down, the first person to rope the “bell calf ” and get dallied was declared the winner. Meanwhile that contestants original calf had better still be tied down or he would be flagged out with a no time. Please note this was a dally calf roping adding an

extra degree of difficulty. The main event showcased fourteen, 4man teams of some of the West’s best ranch cowboys. At the Sonoita event, things are run slightly different than most ranch rodeos. Instead of each team competing in events one at a time then going on to the next event, all teams entered the arena only once, doing each and every event while they were in there. Teams had to catch and saddle their horses from a round pen in the arena, four head of cattle were already loose in the arena and the cowboys then did the trailer loading event, wild cow milking event, team doctoring event and team tying event in any order and in any combination of team members they wished. Time was called for when all four head of cattle had been competed upon, then penned and the gate latched behind them. Things ran faster than normal ranch rodeo competitions, as there was a lot less down time with teams only changing in and out of the arena one time instead of many. At the end of the day, Cowboy Manuel Murrieta was crowned as the top hand by one point over cowgirl Lindsey Hughes. Manuel won a saddle for his efforts. There was a steak fry with live music and cowboy poetry in the evening and Sunday morning was capped off by a ranch pasture roping over a 25 foot score in a wide-open country. Results are as follows:

The winning team at the Sonoita Ranch Rodeo- Windmill / Empire ranch, Ethan Crockett, Manuel Murrieta, Mike Hughes, Lindsey Hughes.

Manuel Murrieta was crowned “Top Hand” and won a saddle in Sonoita.

World Series of Team Roping 2011 Finale Information Short Round Changes 3HD Consolation Becomes 4HD As announced last fall, WSTR are presenting a few changes to the Finale format. These changes will create additional opportunities for contestants and create better payoff enhancement. The four steer average short round will be utilized this year. The top 10 teams in each of the four rotations will advance to the short round. In addition to those forty teams, the fastest two teams who miss the cut will also advance. In the past the Finale has paid 30 checks in the average with 21 through 30 receiving checks for $6,000 per team. This year, WSTR will be adding twelve more positions for a total of forty-two paid positions. The last 12 will receive ground money checks of $4,000 each. Every team who makes the short round will be guaranteed a check. The short round will determine which check each team receives. This change will increase the average payoffs by $51,000, and take that four steer average to roughly $820,000. The three-steer consolation will be changed to the four-steer consolation. At the end of every rotation each team will progress based on one of three scenarios. 1) They roped well enough to be one of the 42 teams who advance to the four steer short round, 2) The team roped all three steers but missed the cut, 3) The team have two steers down and will advance to the Consolation. The team that missed two or more steers is the only team that is NOT still in the roping at this point. Item #1 is pretty self explanatory, but item #2 and #3 will combine and rope in the consolation. In the consolation all the teams who roped three steers but missed the cut in the four-steer average will have the slowest time of their three steers eliminated and will start the consolation with their two best times. Joining these teams in the consolation short round will be all the teams who missed just one steer. These teams from both groups will start the consolation round with two times, they will all rope a third steer, potentially progressing to a fourth short round steer. All teams that catch three in the consolation will progress to the short round. This one extra steer in the consolation is guaranteed to shake things up and become a second roping within the roping. In the short round of the four-steer consolation we will pay 20 average positions. If our team count holds the same as last year, the consolation should pay an estimated $150,000. In each go-round there will be one $6,000/tm fast time check paid in each rotation. Only teams who have missed two steers are eligible for this check. There will also be one $6,000/tm fast time paid in the short round of the Consolation short round. The total round payoff is $30,000.

WSTR Finale Stall Information South Point Horse Stalls The Cost Of Stalls Indoor stalls are $200. This includes 4 bags of shavings and access to a tack stall. The South Point requires all horse stalls to be pre-bedded with 4 bags of shavings. Stalls are assigned for the entire week (available for 8 days), with the shavings priced at $10/ea; with the cost averaged over the week, which is reasonable. Clearly the hotel has placed a little mark in the shavings, but we understand that the cost of disposing large amounts of shavings outside of Clark County is equal to the purchase price of the shavings. No outside shavings are allowed. Feed and shavings are available for purchase in the stall barn. Outdoor stalls are $175. These stalls are 10x10, covered, four-sided on dirt. This price includes 4 bags of shavings and availability for the entire 8 days. More Stall information including important updates on Tack Stalls can be found online at ww.wstroping.com.

Top Cowboys Hope to Rope World Title Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping at Lazy E Arena The best steer ropers in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association will converge on central Oklahoma November 11-12 to decide the 2011 World Championship of Steer Roping at the 53rd Annual Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping presented by National Saddlery at the Lazy E Arena. The two-day Championship that begins at 7:30 p.m. each evening will feature the top 15 steer ropers from the final regularseason world standings, all chasing that elusive, yet coveted, Montana Silversmiths

gold buckle given to the cowboy who earns the title of PRCA World Champion. Atop the list heading into this year’s 10-Round slugfest is 14-time World Champion Trevor Brazile, owner of a record eight all-around titles, three tie-down roping crowns, a team roping championship and two steer roping season victories. Through late August, he held a $13,000 lead over Vin Fisher Jr., the No. 2 man in the world standings. “It’s like any other event, where if you want to win the world title, you have to have a good Finals,” said Brazile of Decatur, Texas. “It’s going to be close enough by that time that it will be about anyone’s to win.” Brazile had a significant run at the 2010 Steer Roping Finale inside the Lazy E last November, winning more than $28,000 in two days. But Kansan Rocky Patterson walked away with the World Championship, setting a new standard in the process. Patterson, carrying a significant lead in the standings heading into the November Finale, earned nearly $18,000 and finished fourth in the aggregate race. Most importantly, though, is that the money won at the Lazy E shot Patterson’s season earnings to $101,685; he became the first cowboy in PRCA history to earn more than $100,000 in steer roping. “The last two years have been good for me, but I’ve been doing this for a long time,” said Patterson, the two-time reigning World Champion who has qualified for the Steer Roping Finals for the 17th time in his storied career. “To me, longevity means something.” This year’s field is expected to feature a who’s who in the world of steer roping, including two-time World Champion Scott Snedecor of Uvalde, Texas; Bryce Davis of Abilene, Texas; and Cody Lee of

Gatesville, Texas – those contestants are firmly in the top 10, but there are several others who are battling their way through the remaining few weeks of the season to play in the World Championship. “There’s a lot of tradition in steer roping,” Brazile said. “It’s the first event, A period. It’s one of the earliest cowboy sports. That tradition means a lot to me, plus it’s just a cowboy event.” Brazile knows more than most the prestige that comes with winning the Steer Roping World Championship. The Texan owns a record eight all-around gold buckles, but his 2006 steer roping world title marked the first time in his career that Brazile had earned an individual event championship. One of just two men to have qualified for a ProRodeo National Finals in all four roping disciplines – team roping (heading and heeling), tie-down roping and steer roping – he’s also the man with the biggest target on his back when NFSR begins. A to have “I’m going to start roping better if I’m going to win another title,” Patterson said. “When you’re talking about Trevor, I think he’s just that talented; he works hard at it.” As in years past and just like the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the event will consist of 10 go-rounds to determine the PRCA World Champion and the final 2011 PRCA Steer Roping World Standings. On Friday night, Nov. 11, Rounds 1 through 5 will take place – that means 75 runs in one night. Then on Saturday night, Nov. 12, Rounds 6 through 10 – and another rugged 75 runs – will determine who walks out of the Lazy E Arena with the PRCA World Championship gold buckle and saddle. The Lazy E Arena was built to host the NFSR in 1984 by E.K. Gaylord II. The Lazy E hosted this world championship event from 1984 until 2000. In 2001, the Finals event moved to Amarillo, Texas, for a five year run then made a three-year stop in Hobbs, N.M. In 2009, the Oklahoma State Legislature unanimously passed a resolution to bring the NFSR back to Oklahoma and change the name of the event to honor the late Clem McSpadden, who served for many years in the Oklahoma Legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives while also building a reputation as one of the best announcers in rodeo history. He worked the NFSR a record 27 times. McSpadden was also known as the “Voice of the Lazy E”. Steer Roping fans will enjoy all of the activities planned for the performances and in addition, the Senior National Finals Steer Roping will take place during the day at the Lazy E Arena on Nov. 11-12. VIP ticket prices for each performance of the NFSR are $37 … Box seats $30 and general admission $20 preshow. Children 12 and under are free in general admission.

anch Sorting National Championships (RSNC) organization has been very active the last few months. There are over 400 shows booked for the season, 11,000 members - and growing, Merial RSNC National Finals, Big Daddy Summer Spectacular, and RFD-TV. RSNC continues to increase the momentum and break records along the way, showing why RSNC is the #1 Equine Family Sport. Merial RSNC National Finals in Ardmore, Oklahoma was held June 27-July 2, 2011. The remarkable event accommodated 4,093 teams during 6 fun-filled days. Most of all, it exceeded and reflected the growth of Ranch Sorting throughout the United States. One of those reflections came in the form of announcing partnerships with outstanding clinicians such as Aaron Ralston, John Lyons, Kerry Kuhn, Kevin Meyer, Ken McNabb, Charles Wilhelm, and Al Dunning. As an added bonus, RFDTV was on location filming future episodes for The Ride with Aaron Ralston, All Around Performance Horse, and Cowboy Church. The 11th Annual Big Daddy Summer Spectacular held July 28-31, 2011 was an extraordinary event. Ranch Sorting National Championships hosted a total of 48 students, youth and adults, who received instruction from internationally known horseman, Ken McNabb. It was a captivating event, especially for the kids from ages 7 to 18 of different riding levels, who spent an entire day learning about horsemanship, ranch sorting, and sharing Christian Fellowship. That excitement poured into the next 3 ½ days of ranch sorting which resulted in an amazing 1,713 teams in attendance. Most exciting and anticipated event of all....RFD-TV will be highlighting Ranch Sorting National Championships on 4 different programs this fall: All Around Performance Horse, The Ride with Aaron Ralston, Discovering The Horseman Within with Ken McNabb and Cowboy Church. Make sure to mark your calendars for the following dates and times to see the #1 Equine Family Sport Ranch Sorting National Championships in action. All Around Performance Horse: October 13, 16 and 18, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. CRX’D and 9:00 p.m.MST The Ride with Aaron Ralston: October 24 and 31, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. MST Discovering The Horseman Within with Ken McNabb: TBA Cowboy Church: TBA Make sure to watch RFD-TV for more highlights and updates about Ranch Sorting National Championships. The Ranch Sorting National Championships organization continues to grow in membership, and is excited about the future of Ranch Sorting.

What is Ranch Sorting National Championships (RSNC)? It is the mission of RSNC to lead the industry in developing and improving the sport of Ranch Sorting through affordability and a fair rating system. Our goal is to preserve the heritage and integrity of the ranching lifestyle while providing a family oriented, competitive riding experience at the grassroots level. http://youtu.be/_u02WXrsdsU

When was RSNC formed? RSNC was formally established in the spring of 2007 by horse enthusiasts who compete and participate in different equine events and who saw the potential for Ranch Sorting within the equine industry.

What is the goal of RSNC? Our goal is to grow the sport to the largest equine sport in the nation. RSNC is helping contestants as a unified force to grow this sport, through exposure and national equine publications and media such as RFD-TV and Horse TV. We offer easy access to exciting competition for beginners, right up through the expert. 75% of all the competitors coming to RSNC events are new to horse sport competitions. It’s so easy anyone who can throw a leg over a horse can have FUN and compete. Ranch Sorting allows everyone in the family to COMPETE, WIN and get the recognition and rewards that in most equine sports only the very top competitors receive.

College Rodeo 101 C.J. Aragon

ithout a doubt, most of you reading this publication know the importance of college and what it means for someone’s future. It may be the difference between a good job and a great job, from making it through life to exceeding at life. All in all, a college degree is something that every young person should get in order to help them secure a better future. For those young adults who rodeo, it is a great benefit to utilize the sport to help gain that college degree. Recently I had the privilege of chatting with an old friend of mine, C.J. Aragon who is the head rodeo coach at Mesalands Community College (MESACC) in Tucumcari, New Mexico. MESACC is part of the Grand Canyon Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). Aragon, who has been the coach for the past five years, has already had tremendous success and was honored as the 2010 NIRA Coach of the Year and the Grand Canyon Region Coach of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2009. His accomplishments have a great deal to do with his long standing enjoyment of rodeo, as well as his commitment to helping students succeed not only at the sport, but in life as well. During our recent visit, which was part of the Grand Canyon Region Rodeo Media Day, I found out there is a whole lot more going on in the NIRA then meets the eye. Sara Neely, NIRA Director of Public Relations and Administration was also on hand and she and Argon seemed to be on the same page when it came to the sport of rodeo on the college level, as well as what the association can give to young rodeo talent. As a group or a team effort, the NIRA and all of the different coaches of the many colleges and universities across the country are encouraging students to realize the opportunities they are given by being part of a rodeo team. The focus is twofold, stressing the importance of academics as well as rodeo. Many of the coaches, including Aragon,know that the sport can offer an individual a lot, but the things learned in class at the college level can lead to much more. Not every rodeo participant is going to make a career in the sport, but all of them can use the degree they earn to help them through life. Aragon pushes academics and prides himself with the steady growth of his overall team GPA for the past eight semesters. He has set up a program that encourages students to attend class or forfeit their ability to attend their daily practice. Additionally, he has set a mandatory weight lifting class for the entire rodeo team that he strongly believes is beneficial for his group of rodeo athletes. As far as the region goes, Aragon has seen an overall improvement throughout the past couple of years. “We are beginning to recruit some great talent to the region and keep some of the kids that use to head to other regions here,” said Aragon. “Overall, our region is getting better as the competition

2010/2011 MESACC National Finals participants and head coach C. J. Aragon

improves at our rodeos.” The Grand Canyon Region consists of ten rodeos throughout New Mexico and Arizona with MESACC hosting the first of the season. It kicked off the 2011/12 season in September and the other rodeos will follow through the rest of the school year. In June the top athletes in each event head to the NIRA National Finals event held in Casper, Wyoming each year to see who lands the top honors of National Champion

which often predicts a promising career in the sport of rodeo. MESACC has had tremendous success over the past few years coming off with two National Reserve Champions last year and a single National Championships from the season before. Aragon also has six returning students who attended last year’s finals. He hopes to continue to polish MESACC’s reputation as a great rodeo college which will help him recruit more

athletes for his program in the coming years. This season he has seen his biggest group of talent with 44 kids on the team right now and hopes to have close to 50 students as eligible contestants by the second semester. Recruitment for Aragon starts at the high school and even the jr. high school level. He goes to events to see kids who are emerging as strong rodeo talent. Additionally though, he uses the emerging marketing tools of Facebook, YouTube and the internet to gain students for his team. He encourages students who want to attend a college and be on a rodeo team to promote themselves using these types of tools. “A student can send letters of recommendation, videos and email and Facebook messages to coaches of colleges they wish to attend” said Aragon. “I have found a lot of talented kids this way.” Aragon uses his long career as a rodeo athlete to feed his desire to help young adults succeed at becoming leaders in the college rodeo world. Not only does he push his team to be the best inside the arena, but in their academic studies as well. This has already led him to the top of the list among coaches across the country and has also helped the Grand Canyon Region gain tremendous respect among the NIRA. The students are the ones who benefit the most as they are using their skills to gain a college degree that will no doubt give them an upper hand throughout their life.

Priefert Takes Lead With USTRC Open Tour

riefert Ranch and Rodeo Equipment, one of the United States Team Roping Championships (USTRC) long-standing partners, is now the title sponsor to the USTRC Open Tour. The Priefert USTRC Open Tour awards a $10,000 cash bonus to the year-end highpoint header and heeler along with Gist Silversmiths custom buckles. In addition, the runners up each receive $5,000 and Gist Silversmiths custom spurs. Replete with the top names in professional team roping, the Open Tour is featured monthly in SuperLooper Magazine, the official publication of the USTRC, providing profiles on the current leaders and point standings. The Open Tour climax comes each year during the Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping where top professionals, including seven-time PRCA World Champion All Around Cowboy Trevor Brazile, along with World Champions Chad Masters, Patrick Smith, Clay O’Brien Cooper, Jake Barnes, Speed Williams, Rich Skelton and many others, compete before thousands in a fast-paced six-round competition. “USTRC is undoubtedly one of the reasons Priefert is acknowledged as the leader in ranch and rodeo equipment,” said Priefert Marketing Director Jeff Rash. “USTRC has been the instrumental force in providing advice to our company in the improvement of our chutes, return systems and ground management tools that have kept Priefert as the equipment of choice for not only event facilities and producers, but

the roper at home.” A sponsor of the USTRC for more than 13 years, Priefert is a family-owned and operated manufacturing company based in Mount Pleasant, Texas, that has built a reputation of innovation and integrity in the development of a product line designed to fit industry needs. “Priefert is extraordinary in its ability to adapt to the needs of the industry,” said USTRC President Kirk Bray. “They live this industry and listen to the needs of their customers in a way that results in the design of products that far exceed the expectations of the users.” Rash pointed out that the partnership with USTRC has mirrored the success of Priefert over the years. “The USTRC team has continued to be a valuable resource to Priefert,” he said. “Integrity is a core value at Priefert and it’s important that the same integrity be found in those we partner with. Our relationship with USTRC is based on that and it has resulted in providing Priefert with unmatched recognition in the roping and rodeo sports.” For more information about the Priefert USTRC Open Tour go to www.ustrc.com or call 254.968.0002.

CBR Bull Owners Vie for CBR Dakota Magic’s Stock Contractor of the Year

here is no title more coveted by bull haulers than Stock Contractor of the Year. This prestigious award is given to a stock contractor who has multiple top bulls and works to support the cowboys and all other aspects of event production as well. Given the number of top-notch stock contractors that are a part of CBR, it’s bound to be a tough race with a lot of contenders. Brad Vogele was CBR Stock Contractor of the year in 2010 and certainly has a shot at capturing the award again. With great bulls like Luca Brazzi on his truck, Vogele’s got the bull power to claim a second title. Luca Brazzi has become one of CBR’s most popular bovine athletes and the other top bulls on Vogele’s string are

a tough support crew. Lyndal Hurst is never one to be counted out of any bull competition. Hurst’s reputation as a major player in the bucking bull industry is well deserved. He’s won nearly every award the business offers and would undoubtedly like to add CBR Stock Contractor of the Year to his long list of accomplishments. One of his top bulls, One Eyed Jack, is a contender for Bull of the Year and anything else that steps off Hurst’s trailer is going to be good. Another stock contractor with a shot at taking home the Stock Contractor of the Year buckle is Danny Reagan. Reagan is the owner of the Ropin’ Dreams Name the Bull contest bull, 64 John Doe. With other bulls like Double Back and Ronnie Rooster, Reagan’s pen is deep enough to really challenge Vogele and Hurst for the buckle. CBR Dakota Magic Stock Contractor of the Year was announced following the Cinch Tour Finale in Loveland, Colorado.

B Y R YA N D AV I S

ctober is here and for me that means I am really busy. It has been a blur as everything seems to be heading towards the final countdown for the year. Even though I know it gets this way every year and I do my best to be prepared, I always get caught behind the eight-ball. Perhaps it is just the nature of the beast. As I sit here this month pounding away at the keyboard, it seems there is not much “Dirt” out there to spread. Perhaps I have been too busy to hear any rumors or the gossip that usually gives me something to write about. I guess one of the big things that has been stirring and getting team ropers excited is the fresh news coming out of the USTRC headquarters and the new payout format they will implement in 2012. The Shoot-Out fund that ropers have grown use to is going away and there will be a straight 1/3 stock charge held out at all Sanctioned events. So, all of you ropers who have held onto your complaint about not roping for all of your money because you don’t attend the National Finals event, you better start finding something else to grumble about because that money is going back to the ropers from here on out. I believe this will be rewarding to not only the ropers, but to producers as well. It will open up a few doors they have always found shut. For starters, they can now battle the above criticism that ropers always seem to throw at them and, secondly, the black and white payout and stock charge will allow them to make a fair profit on their events. Now, for those who want to know if

they will still be able to rope for the big bucks at the USTRC National Finals event if there is no money taken out to fill the Shoot-Out fund, well, the parent company of the USTRC is stepping up to add $1million dollars to the Finals. That’s right, added money, straight out of the pockets of one company. If you ask me this is a big step for Equibrand and I think the marketing idea behind this idea is pretty good. For me, I think the next time I need a new headstall, reins or a pair of bell boots, I will make sure they come from one of Equibrand’s companies, Martin, Classic Equine, Classic Ropes or Rattler. One last thing that is happening that I think is pretty cool for team ropers is the partnership between the USTRC and Mandalay Bay during this year’s NFR. USTRC members will receive tremendous discounts at Mandalay Bay just because they are packing a USTRC card. From what I know this is going to be the hot spot for team ropers during NFR week. Free nightly rodeo feeds from the Thomas and Mack Center, special room discounts, drink and restaurant specials, free shuttles throughout town and lots more will all be available to make it an experience like no other for team ropers. Well, I guess there was no “Dirt” but lots of great news for team ropers this month. And look, I got just enough words to fill this month’s edition. I will see what I can dig up before next month to get back to the grind of things, but until then…. Dirt – Keep it under your feet Ryan Davis

PRCA Shorts Courtesy of PRCA – ProRodeo Muncy makes his move with Pendleton Round-Up win Taos Muncy seems to be reaching top form at just the right moment. A week after claiming the Justin Boots Playoffs in Puyallup, Washington, Muncy broke through to win his first saddle bronc riding title at the Pendleton Round-Up to earn $5,973 and keep the pressure on world saddle bronc riding race leader Cody Wright. With a 90-point ride on Korkow Rodeos’ Fraid Knot, Muncy won the short round and took the world-famous wild-ride-style victory lap across the grass aboard a broncy paint horse who actually tried to buck him out of his brand new Severe-made trophy bronc saddle. “I was really excited to have that horse (Fraid Knot),” Muncy said. “He was great. He stayed close to the bucking chutes and stayed on the dirt. He went straight toward the grass, had a little change-up and bucked back toward the bucking chutes. The stock contractors bring great horses here. That always makes it fun.” Muncy made the short round here last year for the first time. “This is one you have written down to win,” he said. “To be 90 is the greatest feeling in the world. This rodeo is so unique with the grass and the crowd. It’s scary out there on the grass at times. You don’t want to (get bucked off and) hit that grass. It might hurt.” Muncy and Cody Taton arrived in Pendleton photo-finish style, just minutes before the cannon shot that kicks off the Round-Up right before the singing of the

national anthem. “We drove all night from Albuquerque (N.M.),” Muncy said. “I’m sure glad we made it. This is one of the best years I’ve had. I’ve been healthy; I’ve been drawing good and having fun. “When I came back with all the great bronc riders in the short round, I just wanted to get a check out of here. I had no idea I had a chance to win it. I watched this rodeo on TV when I was a kid. My knees are knocking. My legs are still weak. I’m speechless.”

Nominees For Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award Cover Wide Spectrum The nominees for the inaugural PRCA Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award range from behind the scenes – the secretary’s office and the pens – to the very center of the arena, where the specialty acts and rodeo clowns perform. All five of the nominees devoted their lives to the cowboy sport, often in multiple roles, working long hours in all sorts of weather conditions and putting in hundreds of thousands of miles on the nation’s highway system. • The late Donita Barnes of Peterson, Iowa, was a PRCA secretary and timer for more than 50 years. She also worked with her husband, ProRodeo Hall of Fame stock contractor Bob Barnes, to make their firm one of the most respected in the sport. • Vince Bruce of Sarasota, Fla., has been an opening act at the Wrangler National Finals

PBR PBR Rock Bar celebration will feature Snyder, Duncan The Professional Bull Riders “Last Cowboy Standing” winner Luke Snyder and 2010 Calgary Stampede champion Douglas Duncan joined the one-year anniversary celebration for the PBR Rock Bar & Grill on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011. Located at the center of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, PBR Rock Bar & Grill celebrated its opening in conjunction with the 2010 Built Ford Tough World Finals. The 16,800 square-foot venue includes a 3,000 square-foot patio that looks out onto the Las Vegas Strip. It features American comfort food and barbeque, 105 high-definition televisions, a mechanical bull and extensive PBR branding. “We are very excited about the anniversary celebration in Las Vegas. It is even better that the PBR Built Ford Tough Series schedule allows two of our top riders to be there for this special occasion,” said PBR President and COO Sean Gleason. “We’ll continue the celebration in October when we bring all of the top bull riders back to Las Vegas for the richest bull riding event in the world, the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals.” Sponsored by Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Magazine, and Budweiser, the evening will feature dining, entertainment and bull riding. Snyder and Duncan will be at the exclusive VIP dinner on the patio from 7-8 p.m. before joining the high-energy party which will be

open to the public from 8 p.m. to close. There are four themed locations for the world’s premier bull riding organization. PBR bars opened in Baltimore and Houston in March, joining PBR Sky Bar in Kansas City, which opened in 2009. Snyder won $216,500 on April 16 in front of a sellout crowd at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and a pay-perview audience, while Duncan took home $110,500 for winning the Calgary Stampede. The $216,500 is the highest one-day payout of the 2011 season and the second highest in history. In his 11th BFTS season, Snyder has earned almost $1.4 million, while Duncan has almost $300,000 in three years. The PBR Built Ford Tough Series features the Top 40 bull riders in the world competing each week against the best bucking bulls. The BFTS crisscrosses the United States, making 29 stops in 23 states. The season began at world-famous Madison Square Garden, 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 is televised in HD each week on VERSUS with select events broadcast on NBC and CBS. The telecasts are produced for the PBR by David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 33-time Emmy® Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer and creative lead.

PBR veteran Coleman retires after 13 seasons 12-time Built Ford Tough World Finals qualifier breaks news during Twitter chat The Professional Bull Riders announced on Saturday that Ross Coleman has said he will retire after 13 seasons on the Built Ford Tough Series. The announcement was made to fans during a Twitter chat @TeamPBR prior to the second day of Built Ford Tough Series action at the PFIWestern.com Invitational presented by Bass Pro Shops at JQH Arena. “It’s a hard to decision to make because I’ve been part of this bull riding for a long time, and it has really been a part of me too. I’m hanging it up, and I’m more than happy to make that decision,” said Coleman, who had surgery on his left shoulder in April. “It took me a while to make it, but I’m happy to do it and I’m happy to be done with it.” Coleman has accepted a position to be VIP of Sales & Services for Back Seat Buckers (www.backseatbuckers.com), an American Bucking Bull, Inc. program that allows anyone the opportunity to become involved as a stock contractor. “Ross is one of the last old-school tough guys,” said PBR co-founder and Livestock Director Cody Lambert. “He wasn’t one of the original riders, but he has been around a long time and it feels like he is. He’s the second generation. The injuries, even though he is only 32 years old, have taken their toll and as a bull rider he is just a shell of what he once was. He’ll do well at whatever he does because he’ll work hard and people like him.” “In Ross’ prime, he was a rock star and

he’s had a great career,” said two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride, who was Coleman’s teammate at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. “He means a lot to the sport, and has been a big part of the growth of the PBR. He’s a great guy, and my best buddy.” The 32-year-old Coleman was the first rider in PBR history to compete in 300 events on the BFTS, record 800 outs, and earn 400 qualified rides. He set a PBR record for money earned on a single ride in 2001 when he won $100,000 for riding Tuff-E-Nuff in a bonus round at Columbus, Ohio. Coleman qualified for the Built Ford Tough World Finals from 1999-2010, and his 12 appearances tie him for the fourth most in PBR history. He ranks 11th all-time in career earnings with $1.4 million, and in 2006 became the 10th rider in history to surpass $1 million. He finished in the Top 10 five times, including 2002 when he was second and earned a career-high $315,359. He began hosting the Ross Coleman Invitational in his hometown of Molalla, Ore. in 2005. PBR riders have voted it the top Touring Pro Division event three times, and it has raised more than $200,000 for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon, which presented Coleman with its Katie’s Star Award in 2008. The event has also been honored as the Oregon Festival and Events Association Sporting Event of the Year. Coleman won the all-around title at the College National Finals Rodeo in 1998 while on scholarship at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and won national high school bull riding and all-around titles in 1997.

he September Rodeo is in the books! The 2011 Bosque Farms Jr. Rodeo season kicked off to a great start on September 17-18. Kids from all across the state converged on the Bosque Farms rodeo arena and with the help of the local committee and many parent volunteers, the rodeo played out smooth and fast throughout both days. From lead-liners, rough stock riders, those competing in the 14-18 age group and all those in between the rodeo had lots of action and fun! The series will continue with all of these young talented rodeo stars competing one weekend a month in October and November!

Thanks to NM Tractor Sales for the use of the tractor during the September Rodeo!

The Leo Mitchell, Jr., Junior Memorial Barrel Race Goes On…. Despite Heavy Rain!

Special 9/11 saddle winner Kathy Price

ur September 11th Remembrance Races were a wonderful reminder on how lucky we are to live in America and have the option to run barrels. Saturday night saw some much needed rain for our county but the ground held and Alecia Sandoval ran a smoking 16.0 to set the pace. On Sunday Kelsie Elkins, fresh back from her honeymoon, met the challenge and set a new arena record running a 15.8. We welcomed several new members and want to thank everyone who helped. Winning the special 9-11 saddle with a margin of 0.019 was Kathy Price on her horse Desparado. Brittany Power was second with a 0.023 difference while Taryn Rottman was third with 0.029. It was a great weekend averaging 66 open runners, 20 you and 10 seniors. We have a new race on October 29th called “Race For Life” in which all the proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We will be giving double points for district awards at this race so we hope everyone joins us. Please follow us on Facebook at New Mexico NBHA Done or our web page at nmnbha.com.

rawing 276 total entries from all over the Southwest on Saturday and Sunday August 20 -21 Leo Mitchell, Jr., Junior Memorial Barrel Race was a great success at the Grants Rodeo Grounds in Grants New Mexico. The event is one of the largest in the state, according to Kevin Mitchell, Leo Mitchells younger brother “It’s for a good cause and it is nice to remember a fellow barrel racer.” Proceeds from the event, nearly $3,000 for this year alone, goes toward a scholarship for cosmetology and efforts for organizations that fight violent crime. This year was the eighth annual event and there is no end in sight as the event continues to grow each year. But we are shooting for 10. Mitchell was killed behind a bar in Gallup nine years ago over a jacket. He w as 40. “Leo was a barrel racer and a great friend to many.” On Sunday, Mitchell’s brother, Kevin, rode his horse in the event, to many cheers from other racers. Many of the Mitchell family members show up to the event every year to participate, cook or just cheer on the contestants. The family took nearly a complete section of bleachers over the weekend as they gathered to remember their son, brother or uncle. “We appreciate all the support we get for this event,” said Alvira, Leo’s mother. “He loved horses and he loved to ride.” The family puts in about $7,000 each year out of their own pockets, The prizes are amazing and always include saddles, halters and beautiful blankets. The Grants Rodeo association through the Grants Lodgers Tax was able to sponsor $1,000 this year. Saturday was a perfect day overcast

and cool for running barrels. Then Saturday night a rain storm and flash flooding hit. Contestants woke up to a mess Sunday morning. The Grants Rodeo Members brought in 3 tractors and a truck and a drag and started to work the ground, for about 6 hours they tried. All the contestants were great, helping out and waiting. The general consensus was that people came to run and that’s what we planned to do. So we moved the pattern to the other end of the arena, Ran from the other direction and made a really small pattern and the race went on and the rest is history!

Equine Deworming: Out With the Old, In With the New Old Rule Deworm the entire herd regularly, rotating through different classes of dewormers. New Rule Evaluate horses individually, deworm only as necessary utilizing one effective product. Equine parasitologists are advising veterinarians and horse owners to rethink their traditional methods of parasite control.1 The outdated practice of treating every horse the same and with products from different classes of dewormers has been found to be ineffective1 according to Hoyt Cheramie, DVM, MS, a manager of Merial’s Large Animal Veterinary Services. Let’s look at some facts that will help you understand why conventional thinking has changed and how it impacts deworming. Fact Rotating dewormers is not only unnecessary; it actually may be contributing to the problem of resistance. Horse owners have long believed that by rotating dewormers, they’ve been fighting drug resistance. “Using several products blindly, some of which may no longer be effective on the parasites infecting horses on your farm, simply doesn’t make sense,” says Dr. Cheramie. “Not only is the program not the best it can potentially be, but experts agree that alternating drug classes does not delay the development of drug resistance.2,3,4 Using products which may no longer be effective is neither medically sound nor cost effective.” Fact As it turns out, leaving a residual worm population on a farm is not only harmless – it’s necessary. True – as long as it’s the right population. That population is called “refugia.” As illogical as it may sound, you should actually welcome some parasites on the farm as long as they are susceptible to the dewormers you’re using. By leaving that refuge population of non-resistant (susceptible) worms to interbreed with resistant parasites, you help reduce the development of resistance. Using selective deworming practices will keep a balance between managing this population and keeping your horses healthy. Fact Only about 20 percent of the horses in a herd shed about 80 percent of the farm’s worm eggs. Most worm contamination on a farm comes from a small subset of high shedders. Dr. Cheramie suggests utilizing Fecal Egg Counts to identify that subset and then developing a comprehensive deworming strategy. By developing

reatment plans based on shedding levels, optimum worm control can be achieved, and the risk of developing worm populations that are dewormer resistant is reduced. Fact No dewormer classes are immune to the eventual development of resistance. “Although resistant populations and species of worms have developed at different rates of speed depending on the parasite, drug and frequency of use,” says Dr. Cheramie, “the fact is every class of dewormer currently available is at risk for resistant worm populations to arise. 8 - 12 That is why it is so important for horse owners to work with their veterinarians and take action to ensure their deworming programs are both effective and responsible.”

Proper and polite cowboys tend to develop their own private cuss words that allow them to vent their anger while not scorching the grass around them. If they catch their finger in a dally, or get assigned tractor duty, they express their aggravation by saying things like darn, sugar and fudge! I know one old timer who can make the word “pumpernickel” sound as vile as any word uttered by a muleskinner. I admit that I have to work hard at not cussing. It’s a terrible habit, and it’s my worst fault, but I spent too many years working in the oilfields, and taking too much inorganic I CRX’D chemistry in college, not to cuss. Either one surprises. The exception to this rule are old of which would make a Methodist minister time cowboys who don’t cuss much. (I’m cuss like a sailor. I also spent too many years talking real cowboys, not the genus and in the front cab of my father’s Peterbuilt. species of the drugstore variety.)

These days I have, for the most part, cleaned up my potty mouth and I try to limit my occasional cuss word to men and cows. I never cuss in front of women, kids and horses, all of whom are sensitive about such things. My role model for cleansing my vocabulary is a grand old lady I’ve known for years. I was immediately attracted to Mary because, like me, she never trusted anyone who wore gloves, put their cigarette in a plastic holder to smoke it, or any snob who paid more than $10 for his last haircut. Mary was as down to earth as crabgrass and after her husband died she lived simply off the income of 50INcows.

Four Letter Words

t’s been my experience that people who make their living battling mother nature on a daily basis tend to use more four letter words than your average priest, funeral director or kindergarten teacher. Roustabouts, loggers, truckers and welders use cursing to relieve the tension caused by sudden

what she called “ROMEO’s”. (Rich old mean eating alone.) Mary’s cowherd reflected her own personality: they were the gentlest bovines who ever chewed cud. Mary had invited a few of us over to help preg check those cows and this year when we arrived we saw a new twist: on a card table beside the chute were laid out fifty ear tags. It seems Mary had read about the premium that age and sourced calves are bringing at auction, only instead of Angus Source ear tags or from some other breed or ID company, Mary had written in beautiful calligraphy the names of her cows on pale blue ear tags. Mary’s cows would never wear a bar code, but they did sport some interesting names. There was Abstract who had strange markings, Edsel who was definitely out of style, and Frisbee who was hard to catch. It’s safe to say that no one in attendance that day had ever heard Mary cuss. But when the old rope on the squeeze chute broke when a big old brute pulled back on it, he fell backwards right on Mary’s table and her pretty ear tags, vaccine guns, medicine and some delicious brownies were thrown high and wide. Mary took one look at the destruction and said “S-H-I-,” and the world stopped for a brief moment as everyone held their collective breath... “NO-L-A,” Mary concluded. Instead of a four letter word Mary uttered one of her private cuss words, the name of a shoe polish we used before we all started wearing Nikes and Reeboks. Embarrassed, Mary said, “For a moment there I almost said (insert four letter word here).” Not realizing that she just had. wwwLeePittsbooks.com

Little Yellow Jacket PBR, Bull Riders and Fans Everywhere Mourns Loss of Legendary Little Yellow Jacket

he riders, staff and management of the Professional Bull Riders mourn the loss of legendary bull Little Yellow Jacket, who passed away on Monday, Sept. 19, in Graham, N.C. The only three-time World Champion Bull in PBR history was 15 years old. “Little Yellow Jacket was a tremendous athlete, and the mere mention of his name brings great memories to fans of our sport,” said PBR CEO Jim Haworth. “He will certainly be remembered as one of the all-time greats.” The PBR announced in July that Little Yellow Jacket would be the first recipient of the Brand of Honor, which will be presented each year to a bull for exemplary performance. He will be honored in Las Vegas on Oct. 25 during the Heroes & Legends Ceremony, which will also include the induction of Tater Porter and Brent Thurman into the PBR Ring of Honor, the presentation of the Sharon Shoulders Award to Leanne Lambert, and the presentation of the Jim Shoulders Lifetime Achievement Award to Rob Smets. Owned by Joe Berger, Tom Teague, and Bernie Taupin, Little Yellow Jacket won the World Champion Bull title in 2002, 2003 and 2004. He is immortalized in a statue located in front of the PBR headquarters along with the only three-time World Champion bull rider, Adriano Moraes. Little Yellow Jacket gained worldwide fame in 2003 when he bucked off two-time World Champion Chris Shivers in less than two seconds. He earned $50,000 for his victory while keeping Shivers from collecting $1 million. He competed in the PBR from 1999-2005, and appeared in the World Finals from 2001-05. He had a buckoff rate of 84.4 percent, and an average buckoff time of 2.66 seconds. The 14 riders who managed to achieve 8 seconds on him had an average score of 93. Michael Gaffney rode Little Yellow Jacket for 96.5 points at Nampa, Idaho, in 2004, tying the PBR record for highest score. His last set of natural calves will be born in 2012.
