31st Annual Casper Baca Rough Stock Rodeo Series

The first performance of the first round of the 31st Annual Casper Baca Rodeo Company's Rough Stock Series is in the books. From it's humble beginings just outside of Grants, New Mexico to it's status as an institution in the sport of bullriding now residing in Belen, New Mexico, the Series continues to crank out the champions!

This year they kicked off on the nicest day of the year so far with tempatures in the high 40's and only a slight breeze the conditions were perfect for the four legged animals to show their stuff. When a few sticky cowboys were mixed in, the show was pretty dang good!

Kenny McOsker was leading the bareback riding after the first day. While Kevin Cox of Tome, NM had jumped out to the lead in a close Saddle Bronc competition. In the bull riding traveling partners Randon Henry on Bo Dow and Jesse Griego on last years high money bull Snoopy were splitting the round with 84's. While Brendon Bond scored 78 on Simon Sez and Nathan Jones put up a 77 on Tom Tom to show they will be forces to be rekoned with this year.
