The Farm-City Pro Rodeo consists of
four action-packed performances. For
timed events, contestants will compete
twice: once during slack in the afternoon
and once during the night’s performance
(with the exception of barrel racers, who
only complete one run). The rough stock
events will all take place during the night
performances and will be one ride only.
Monies earned at the Farm-City Pro
Rodeo are crucial to making the Wrangler
National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas,
Nevada in December.
