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.

Hello members,
The 2023 season will be one you do not want to miss. The rodeo schedule is filling up with around 40+ rodeos at this point. We are happy to announce that Flying Star, 3-J Rodeo and Twisted P Rodeo will be back this year. The 2023 season will have some new rodeos with a few rodeos adding additional performances along with more added money. I would like to thank the contractors for their dedication and loyalty to the MSRA. Additional dates will be posted to the website when we get them in the office.
The General membership meeting to vote on new rule proposals will be held at the Residence Inn in East Lansing, Michigan. The meeting will be held on February 19th at 9:30 am. The address is 2841 Hannah Boulevard East Lansing Michigan located minutes from the MSU rodeo. Please remember that you must be a 2023 member to vote on these proposals. The rule proposals have been posted on our website for your review.
Looking ahead to the Mid-States Finals Rodeo which will be held @ the WB Ranch in Swanton, Ohio on October 13 & 14. You will want to get qualified for this one, so fill out the membership application and buy your membership now. If you or someone you know would like to be a part of the sponsorship program for the MSFR please contact the MSRA office.
