Ten competitors from the qualifying rounds in each event will ride for the chance to win a spot in the finals on March 28. Saddle-bronc rider Clint Hopping will return tonight after placing second on March 15th in the second qualifying round. “I like the format this year,” Hopping said. “Each round is a clean slate for each rider, a fair chance to win a check and I’m glad I made it to the playoffs.” The next four days of rodeo will bring great competition as cowboys and cowgirls showcase their hard work while riding for the brand. “I started out at smaller rodeos to work up to getting to big rodeos like this,” Hopping said. “This is my first time competing here at Rodeo Austin in saddle bronc. Walking in today to the semi-finals meant so much to me to be here on my own.” Hopping will not advance to the finals, but that won’t keep him from holding his head high like a true cowboy. “I rode good, I felt good, the horse bucked, the crowd cheered, Boyz II Men is playing and there was a great atmosphere,” Hopping said. “Because of the nature of this rodeo, its stature and the weight it carries in our sport I felt like a true bronc rider.” Rodeo Austin is proud to support cowgirls and cowboys as they make a name for themselves in the great sport of rodeo.

EXPO CENTER DUNCAN, OKLAHOMA Welcome to the 2020 Bred to Buck Sale, With all the changes going on in the world, one thing that remains the same is our focus of producing elite bucking bulls. For over 35 years, we have strived to produce the very best in the business. We know the competition gets better every year so we work to remain a leader in the industry. One thing we have proven is all the great bulls are backed by proven cow families. Our program takes great pride in our cows and we KNOW they are the key to our operation. We sell 200 plus females each year between the Fall Female Sale and this Bred to Buck Female Sale, so we have our cow herd fine-tuned to only the most proven cow families. It is extremely hard to select females for this sale knowing that many of our very best cows will be leaving the program. However, we do take pride in the success our customers have with the Page genetics. There are so many great success stories from our customers, and we can’t begin to tell them all. Johna Page Bland, Office 2020 is a year we will never forget, our country has experienced changes and regulations that we have never seen throughout history.

That was fun. I got a lot of good feedback from Keith and also picked up some ideas from the others who participated. I have streamlined my game considerably! I also converted the cards and charts to PDF to make it easier to share. I like the progress to date and looking forward to getting some play testing done with it. Feel free to share it with others, and they can also have my email address. Now ... I wanted to get this over quickly, because I have an idea for the whole rodeo concept. It's based on the Wrestling card game Book It! You start with a stable of local cowboys and in the course of several events you try to amass enough reputation points to be a top rodeo promoter. Cards would include cowboy cards, venue cards, and special event cards (i see this where you would include chuckwagon, cowboy poker, and other special events to boost reputation). I haven't thought through most of the conceptual pieces yet, but in essence it's a deck building game (right up Sam's alley). ===== ROB GALLAMORE Here you go Keith, this is what my Tie Down Roping Game looks like. I exported it to a pdf this time. I bought Affinity Publisher about a week ago as it was half price.

For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.
