My family and many families of the western United states, were ranchers. My grandfather ran cattle from texas to california, and his father was a Texas Ranger ad rancher. My dad grew up on a ranch as well. We always looked forward to going to rodeo each year, and we participated in kids skills events. Riding Goats, lassoing wooden calves and girls barrel racing were our favorites.

This was the 40th annual family rodeo in Chiloquin, Oregon.
