came out the winner with the time
of 1 1.37 seconds. Trying to tie one

Cort Herrera of White Swan
won the Steer Wrestling with the
time of 4.73. Some of those steers
seem to have rubber necks and
would not fall for the cowboys and
the times were hard earned. Cort
Herrara also won the Wild Cow
M ilking with a time of 1 9. 1 5. There
were six places paid in the cow
milking.
Leo and Emerson Ramone won
the Team Roping event with the
time of 6.4 1 . There were some good
times turned in for that event
which is becoming the most popu
lar event in the rodeo today. Many
days come to an end, as one cow
boy jokingly remarked, "like cow
boy welfare."
This year there was the ladies
breakaway calf roping which was
won by Sue Burton of John Day,
Or., as she turned ina time of 4.61.
This event is becoming more and
more popular for the gals which
gives them more than one event to
work.
Leanna Tom was the winner of
the Jr. Barrel Race with the time of
19.708; second was Una Johnson
with 19.979; and, third went to
Keta Cline with the time of 49.080.
