The PRCA has been
very fortunate this year to have Rural Media Group as a strong media partner
that is committed to the promotion of PRCA professional rodeo and the values
and traditions of our sanctioned rodeo committees. Even in this pandemic year,
hundreds of PRCA rodeo performances are being televised or streamed to fans
worldwide. The viewership results are beyond expectations and continuing to
grow.
2020 Veterinarian of the Year
PRCA members or members of a PRCA rodeo committee may nominate a veterinarian who they have worked with that has shown an extraordinary commitment to the health and welfare of rodeo livestock involved in PRCA-sanctioned rodeos. The PRCA Veterinarian of the Year is recognized annually at the PRCA Awards Banquet held in conjunction with the PRCA Convention and National Finals Rodeo.

Patch Sponsorship & T.V. Value
Earlier this year we launched a new partnership with The Cowboy Channel and entered a new era of PRCA television. The early viewership results have been very exciting. This extensive television coverage and increased viewership will mean more value for our members as they become more recognizable to our fans. Downloads: Video Presentation PDF 1-Sheet

CBD Oil Statement
The PRCA continues to closely monitor the field of Cannabidiol (CBD) Oils in relation to animal welfare.
The use of CBD Oil on all horses and livestock used for contest purposes is prohibited by the PRCA at all sanctioned rodeos and will remain prohibited until further research becomes available. PRCA Rule 8.10 states: “No Stimulants or Hypnotics. No stimulants or hypnotics may be given to any animal used for contest purposes.”
For the sake of clarity, any use of CBD sponsor patches is prohibited at all PRCA-sanctioned rodeos.
Attention Contestants:
Please note that PRCA Rule R1.7.1.3 will be in effect for the 2020 season. Meaning both ‘official’ entry rodeos and ‘unofficial’ entry rodeos WILL count toward a contestants required circuit participation count.
Effective for the 2020 Rodeo Season – 2020 Circuit Finals Rodeos and the 2021 RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo WILL count toward PRCA World Standings.
Attention Steer Ropers
The following will be effective immediately for the 2019/2020 season:
The 2019 individual Circuit Finals Steer Roping events (Badlands, Columbia River, Montana, Mountain States, Prairie, Texas, Turquoise) and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Roping will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. These events will be Official Entry Rodeos (contestant must designate unofficial). If a contestant has not met the required participation count it will be an automatic unofficial entry rodeo for that contestant and will not count toward 2020 World Standings or qualification rodeos. For any Steer Roping Circuit Finals Rodeo that occurs prior to the 2019 regular season cutoff date, money won at those circuit finals rodeos will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. Official money won at the 2019 Circuit Finals Steer Roping and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Roping will not count toward the All-Around.
