E verybody in PRORODEO circles knows about the finan cial impact the Cowboy Christmas run can have on a contestant’s season. Last year, Cowboy Christmas ran from July 1-8, consisting of 39 rodeos and saw cowboys earn more than $3.5 million. However, the PRORODEO winter run can’t be discounted - especially the Texas Swing of Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston and San Angelo.
