Who provides the rodeo livestock?

The Harry Vold Rodeo Company of Fowler, Colorado will be providing the livestock and producing our rodeo for the 42nd consecutive year. Harry, inducted into ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1994, is not only an outstanding producer with world-class livestock, he is a real gentleman and gentle man. More than "just" a producer, we think of Harry, Karen, the entire Vold clan and traveling family as our own family.

What will I see at the Rodeo?

Each of our performances include all the competitive events - individual and team roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, saddle and bareback bronc riding and, last but by far not least, bull riding - and other entertainment including clowns, surprises and "mutton busting" at every show. Plus there is a wonderful Rodeo store where you can get your Rodeo hats, cups, t-shirts and other memorable souvenirs.
