Does anyone know how
many cowboys got their first
real taste of rodeo? From the
back of a sheep, of course.
Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo will
start the rodeo action off this
year with the famous Mutton
Bustin’.
Some sheep pounce, some
dart or bolt, and others may
stop and drop. Opinions on the
best technique to stay aboard
may vary, but one thing is
for certain—kids come out to
the rodeo with one thing on
their mind: “I could ride that
sheep!”
Young cowboys or cow-
girls under 60 pounds are in-
vited to sign up for the Mutton
Bustin’ at this year’s OTPR.
Choose any day to ride from
Aug. 16-18. Anyone can enter
Friday or Saturday, but youth
must be a Morrow County resi-
dent or direct relative to enter
on Sunday.
Friday and Saturday mut-
ton bustin’ starts a half hour
A mutton bustin’ contestant
hangs on for six seconds of buck-
ing and a lifetime of fame. -File

before the rodeo and Sunday
action starts at 1:15 p.m.
Come watch your favorite
youth rider hang on for six sec-
onds on a wild, wooly mutton.
