Saddle bronc world champion Stetson Wright

California is known for many things. The rodeo exemplifies California's Wild West roots. See our story and ode to the California Cowboy. Livestock and cattle are one of California's major industries, and if you believe that life on the farm is boring, you haven't been to a rodeo. The events  throughout California include cattle drives, parades, barn dances and may even be featured attractions at the county fair. City slickers—get off your mechanical bulls and get to the rodeo to see real cowboys and cowgirls in action. Nothing compares!

PRCA, prorodeo.com The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo., is the largest and oldest rodeo-sanctioning body in the world. Unlike most other professional sports, where contestants are paid salaries regardless of how well they do at a particular competition, cowboys generally pay to enter each rodeo. If they place high enough to win money, they probably make a profit, but if they don't, they've lost their entry fee and any travel expenses. PRCA's membership includes roughly 6,000 cowboys - contestants from cowboys who compete in professional rodeo for a living, to those who work at other jobs during the week and compete in nearby rodeos on the weekends. Card-carrying cowboy members must earn at least $1,000 at PRCA-sanctioned rodeos.
