Welcome to the official site of the
Mid-States Rodeo Association (MSRA).
The MSRA is based in Michigan and sanctions rodeos throughout the Midwest states including Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Our members compete in the seven standard rodeo events: Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Ladies Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling as well as Ladies Breakaway Roping.
The MSRA is proud to promote professional rodeo as a sport; to strive at all times to insure honesty and fairness to both the contestant and producer; to create an amicable relationship among stock contractors and to inspect, sanction and advertise rodeos being sponsored in accordance with association standards.
March 2024
Hello,
The 2024 summer run is getting close and adding four new stock contractors to the list should give plenty of rodeos to go to. Welcome to TK Pro Rodeo, Big Hat Rodeo, High Steel Rodeo, & ABP Rodeo to the MSRA. New listings are being added weekly so keep watching the schedule at www.midstatesrodeo.com to plan your schedule. We are seeing a lot of new rodeos, higher added money and rodeos spreading out into other regions of the country. Please be aware of the new rules changes that are in effect as they may affect your event.
The Rough Stock winter events at C Bar C in Cloverdale, IN by D&D Pro Rodeo have been great and have been paying out some good prize money. Thank you to Garrett Miller and the D&D crew for doing such a great job helping the rough stock events grow. Buckles for the series will be given out on March 30th at the last event of the 2024 winter rough stock series. For more information on entering go to the website long listings.
The MSFR will be held at “The Show Arena” (formerly WB Ranch) on October 11-13th Performance 1 & 2 will be night performances and Sunday will be a matinee. Early projections show more added money and more awards than last year. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Thank you to the MSU Rodeo Club and Twisted P Rodeo for hosting the judge’s clinic in February. Thank you to our clinic instructors, Steve Ratchford of the IPRA and Chris Keller of the MSRA, they did a great job. The approved judges list will be posted soon to the website personnel list.
If your business or someone you know would like to be a sponsor for the MSFR please contact the MSRA office for more information.
