RANGE DAYS RODEO “Rodeo is a special sport, and there are so many special people. It’s awe- some to watch them compete, and if you get to know them, you pull for them and wish them the best. When (people) see the right interview (with a cowboy) or meet them, they’re automatically a fan. It’s exactly where the sport needs to go.” – KAYCEE FEILD

Former Bareback Riding World Champ Kaycee Feild was on a recent episode of the TV show Yellowstone . In Feild’s view, using actual cowboys on the show could draw more fans to ProRodeo.
