This rodeo is part of the annual 4th celebration in Byers Colorado. I typically shoot the events of the day for the local paper. While it's miserably hot (100+) it tends to be one of my favorite things of the year to shoot.

    Thanks. I would have always thought the bull riding would be my favorite thing to shoot, but I always seem to get the best shots of the calf roping. Sometimes the steer wrestling produces really nice ones too.

    Nice shots. Looks like the champeen mutton-buster was female. Same thing happened at the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo....

    I don't think she was the champ, just the most photogenic. That does frequently happen though.
