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.

The year has come to an end and the Champions have been crowned. The competition this year was outstanding, and the rodeos were great. The MSFR was held again at the Show Arena in Swanton Ohio with a payoff of $ 91,700 in cash to contestants plus awards. The Bourne Custom Buckles and the Teskey’s saddles were awesome. Thank you to all these fine sponsors, Tom’s Western Store of Ovid Michigan, Equipment Share, STR Transport, South Plains Rodeo, Bourne Trophy Buckles, Kerlin Trailers, D& D Pro Rodeo, Lucky C Quarter Horses, Tri-State Forest Products, Beast Master Rodeo, Specialty Risk Insurance, Custom Components Corp, Barstow Rodeo Equipment, Tri-Pine Tack & Ron Silverman Custom Leather. The stock contractors brought some great bucking and timed event stock this year to the finals, and the 3-J Crew did a great job with the ground and the Arena to make it a great show. Thank you, Matt McGee and Meagan Vaughn, for another job well done announcing and all the secretaries that helped, Marcia Johnson, Robin Hightower, Ashley Miller, Polly Rodriguez and Kandi Shattuck.
