2. It's About Damn Time. . . The Rise Of The Sport Of Ranch Rodeo

Pardon our 'French', but we're excited about the real working cowboy finally getting some well deserved credit. Ranch Rodeo has been around for many, many years. In fact, the sport of rodeo we all know and love, which culminates at the Thomas and Mack Center every year in Las Vegas, was built upon the foundation that is Ranch Rodeo.

In addition to the Ranch Rodeo Finals being hosted by the San Antonio Stock Show, Ranch Rodeo's popularity in South Texas is due in part to the success of the circuit leading up to the Finals. The circuit leading up to the Ranch Rodeo Finals in San Antonio has evolved into a full-blown association. The South Texas Ranch Rodeo Association successfully hosted their first Year-End Finals this year. Congratulations guys!

South Texas is not the only place where Ranch Rodeo has gained traction - far from it. Some of the more prolific ranch rodeo events include the Western Heritage Classic Ranch Rodeo in Abilene, TX - The Resistol All Around Ranch Rodeo Challenge in Clovis, NM - The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Ranch Rodeo - Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo's Best of the West Ranch Rodeo - The Working Ranch Cowboys Association World Championship Ranch Rodeo in Amarillo, TX - and the newly formed South Texas Ranch Rodeo Association.

Here are some links for all you ranch rodeo fans:

• Western Heritage Classic Ranch Rodeo
• Resistol All Around Ranch Rodeo Challenge
• Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Ranch Rodeo (scroll down and click the Ranch Rodeo link)
• Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo's Best of the West Ranch Rodeo
• Working Ranch Cowboys Association World Championship Ranch Rodeo
• South Texas Ranch Rodeo Association

San Antonio Ranch Rodeo is no different. We're growing and we're happy to have some of the most engaged and enthusiastic fans in the sport. This year those fans will enjoy a new opener - the short-round of the richest Steer Roping in the PRCA. Immediately following the Steer Roping Finals will be the 2011 San Antonio Ranch Rodeo Finals. Our growth has done more than allow us to add value to our show. The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo has committed to adding more money to the 2011 Ranch Rodeo Finals and we have developed a couple of new ways to make sure everyone is on the same page. After all, communication is key.

Before getting into how we can all stay on the same page, we have a quick announcement. We are eager to pass along the South Texas Ranch Rodeo name and follow the progress of a new association. The movement in South Texas to support the sport of Ranch Rodeo is very exciting and we're proud that they've chosen to be the South Texas Ranch Rodeo Association.

However, this means that we had some changes to make. The rise of the STRRA, growing popularity of the Ranch Rodeo Finals, and new developments within the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo have led us to become the San Antonio Ranch Rodeo Finals. We're excited about the new direction and invite you to join us in the adventure.

Our new contact information:

Web site: SanAntonioRanchRodeo.com
Email: info@SanAntonioRanchRodeo.com

The STRRF.com Web site and info@strrf.com email will continue to function throughout the 2011 San Antonio Ranch Rodeo Finals. Following the 2011 performance, these will be gradually decommissioned.
