The Calf Scramble is one of the most exciting events at the rodeo that is open to contestants from the entire state. Contestants race after calves that are turned loose in the rodeo arena trying to catch and return one in halter back to the designated area. Successful scrambles are given a $1,000 certificate to go out and purchase a show heifer to bring back and compete for champion heifer at the following year’s show. Over the course of the year the student gains knowledge on financial responsibility, caring for and feeding the heifer. For most participants, this is an opportunity for them to learn about the livestock industry and start their own investments within the industry.
