Events include cowhide racing, team roping, wild cow milking, a cowgirl barrel race, chute dogging, and calf doctoring and branding.
Young audience members can get in on the action with the calf ribbon chase for ages 5-10. Cowhands 2-4 will want to compete in the stick horse race. The whole family can take on the egg toss.
The Ranch Rodeo and the Winter Horse Series are part of an event management class for Walters State agriculture students.
