At the Oklahoma Cattleman’s Convention, Intern Kate Munson visited with OCA Ranch Rodeo Committee Chairman Kent Trentman about the OCA Ranch Rodeo to be held August 16 -17, at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
“The eleven ranches that will be competing a mostly all in good standing with OCA and are true ranches that will represent all corners of the state. We are in coordination with the Oklahoma Ford Dealers, who is a major sponsor,” Trentman said. “We have a great committee. All of our stock has been donated because this is a charity event to benefit the Children’s Hospital Foundation.”
With the tagline “Cowboys Helping Kids,” the OCA Ranch Rodeo has benefited the Children’s Hospital Foundation by raising funds for the children’s hospital in Oklahoma City for 27 years and continues to grow each year.
“At some point in the rodeo, we’ll pass a boot through the audience and every dollar donated goes directly to the CFA,” he said.
The ranch rodeo is a WRCA-qualifying event and is composed of five events: ranch bronc riding, stray gathering, calf branding, team penning, and wild cow milking. Tickets are available on the Lazy E website.
