AMERICA'S GREATEST SPORT

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.

Rule Book

April 16, 2023

Hello Members,

The 2023 season is almost here, and our schedule is growing. Be sure to get your membership bought to become eligible for the MSFR. This year has several new Rodeos added to the schedule with more money added. Be sure to follow the long and short listings on our website and Facebook.

The finals will be back at the WB Ranch in Swanton, Ohio on October 13 & 14 where there will be over $50,000 in cash to be paid out, along with coats for MSFR contestants & personnel, buckles & awards to event winners and Saddles to the Ladies and Mens All Around Champions. Also, this year a dinner with a “Back Number and of the year Awards” gala along with a Calcutta of the MSFR contestants at the Bunker Bar Hall. Bunker Bar Hall is in Holland Ohio just minutes away from WB Ranch on Thursday October 12th to celebrate the kickoff of the “Mid-States Finals Rodeo”. I would like to invite all members, guests, and Rodeo committees to come join us to support our MSFR contestants & contractors and enjoy a night celebrating their accomplishments.

We would like to invite individuals or businesses to sponsor our MSFR. There are many packages we can show you that will help with advertising for your business or event. Please contact the MSRA office with any questions. Thank you to all our sponsors that supported the Mid-States Rodeo Association last year.

If you have any questions or need help with anything throughout the year, please contact me or Kandi at the MSRA office. Look forward to seeing you all at the Rodeos.

Thank you and God Bless,

Steve Shattuck
