E ven with the COVID-19 pandemic slowing rodeos, the Fourth of July run, also known as Cowboy Christmas, showed again how lucrative it could be. Cowboys trav- eled up and down North America and ranged as far east as New Jersey and across to the Southwest in hopes of boost- ing their season earnings. Cowboys earned more than $1.7 million between June 28 and July 7.
