Mutton Bustin'

Mutton Bustin' at the Rodeos

Five to 7-year-olds under 55 pounds ride a sheep out of a bucking chute and into the rodeo arena. Like professional rodeo events, time and score count, but all of these aspiring cowboys and cowgirls receive a participation award from the sponsor. Anything goes, and usually does, as contestants cling to the back of thickly coated lamb as long as they can.

The contest requires pre-entry months in advance and contestants have been known to prepare long before arrival on-grounds. Enter your child’s name in the drawing today! More Info(PDF)
