It’s time to make money in ProRodeo. It’s Cowboy Christmas, that time of year that features lucrative rodeos around the Fourth of July.

It’s a traditional setting and an exhausting time for cowboys and cowgirls, most of whom are on the road non-stop between events making sure they squeeze in as many rides and runs as possible over the stretch.

The Greeley (Colo.) Stampede is one of the many events going on right now. In fact, today is a day off for rodeo’s elite, but the short round is scheduled tomorrow with 12 contestants in each event qualified for the finale, set to begin at 1 p.m. Mountain time. Payouts have been made for the top contestants in the first round – the first two rounds in tie-down roping. Though I haven’t been able to see those results, I do know how it has played out heading into tomorrow’s short-go, thanks to Kasie Pigg, the Stampede’s marketing director. She has posted the qualifiers on the Stampede’s Facebook page.

So, thanks, Kasie, and good luck to all the qualifiers.
