What is Cowboy Christmas
Now is the time rodeo athletes load up and haul from one city to the next, stacking wins and mileage in equal measure. For breakaway ropers, this year’s run has more than $271,000 in added money on the table between now and July 5th, spread across more than 22 rodeos from Greeley, Colorado to Basin City, Washington to Mandan, North Dakota.
St. Paul, Oregon leads the way at $50,590 in added money. Cody, Wyoming is close behind at $36,000, Greeley still running at $35,000, and Oakley, Utah at $30,000. From there, the checks keep coming—Mandan, North Dakota, at $18,000, Basin City, Washington, at $15,000, Killdeer, North Dakota at $10,000—with smaller but meaningful payouts stacking up at rodeos across the country from Belle Fourche, South Dakota to Brush, Colorado to Belton, Texas.
