Steer ropers ready for Cave Creek competition

Steer ropers ready for Cave Creek

After more than two months without a PRCA-sanctioned rodeo because of the COVID-19 pandemic, ProRodeo cowboys will return to action at Cave Creek (Ariz.) Rodeo Days, May 22-24.

Steer roping also is part of the rodeo and has a star-studded field of 42 cowboys. The contestants will be competing in a three-header, beginning at 9 a.m., May 23.

ā€œThis is the longest break Iā€™ve had ever,ā€ said Vin Fisher Jr., a 16-time qualifier for the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping. ā€œIt will have been two-and-a-half months since the M.M. Fisher Jr. Memorial Steer Roping, March 7-8. Iā€™m ready to go run one for money. Iā€™m so glad they are firing off and having it and giving us a place to go.ā€

The Cowboy Channel will air Cave Creek Rodeo Days live at 10:30 p.m. (ET), May 22-24. The rodeo also will be live on the PRCA on Cowboy Channel Plus App, available at cowboychannelplus.com.

Fisher will be riding Sixes, 17, in Cave Creek.

ā€œI just started back to roping last week,ā€ he said. ā€œI actually tore my right rotator cuff on March 25, my birthday. Luckily, it didnā€™t need surgery because it wasnā€™t a full tear. I have been doing physical therapy for a month. I also have a ruptured disc in my back. My physical therapist thought he could help (my back), and he told me not to do any riding. I couldnā€™t keep my horses in shape. Sixes stays turned out with the ranch horses and stays in shape. Right now, my back is better than it has been in two years and my shoulder is getting there. I donā€™t think itā€™s going to affect me.ā€

Vin, his brother, J. Tom (a seven-time NFSR qualifier), and their father, Dan (16-time NFSR qualifier), are all in the field at Cave Creek.

ā€œI canā€™t wait to get going,ā€ J. Tom said. ā€œI have been practicing every day. Iā€™m more ready to go to a rodeo right now than I would be for the National Finals because we have been practicing a ton here at home (in Andrews, Texas). Itā€™s great when we get to compete together as a family, itā€™s a lot of fun. Youā€™re rooting for each other.ā€

Tuf Cooper, who has qualified for three consecutive NFSRs, is thrilled to be competing in steer roping and tie-down roping in Cave Creek.

ā€œIā€™m just so excited to go do what we all love to do, which is rodeo and hang out with each other and travel around, and ultimately get our name called,ā€ Cooper said. ā€œI went to a jackpot a few days ago just so I could have a little bit of pressure, and my steer roping went really well. Iā€™m definitely ready.ā€

Chet Herren, a 14-time NFSR qualifier, agreed with Cooper.

ā€œIā€™m excited to get going,ā€ Herren said. ā€œI hope this is the start of things to come (and rodeos keep going).ā€

Wrangler NFR Round 8: Ty Harris Slips to Fourth in PRCA with Two Rounds Remaining

By

Ty Harris Slips to Fourth in PRCA
Ty Harris ties down a calf during the 5th performance of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Friday, Feb. 8, 2019, at Foster Communications Coliseum.

In a crucial night that could have allowed him to gain ground, Ty Harris faced disappointment as he failed to rope his calf for the third time during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on Thursday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

As three cowboys tied for the lead with impressive 7.5-second times, Harris, along with three others, recorded no-times in Round 8.

With only two rounds left in the competition, this setback has cost first-time NFR participant Harris another spot in the PRCA world standings. After making a remarkable ascent to second place in the standings with consecutive round wins on Monday and Tuesday, the cowboy from San Angelo now finds himself in fourth place in yearly earnings.

The ninth and tenth rounds are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, where Harris is determined to close the gap on world leader Shane Hanchey and Riley Pruitt, who have maintained their second-place positions globally after tying with Cooper Martin and Tyler Milligan for the 8th-round belt buckle.

Pruitt, hailing from Gehring, Nebraska, has consistently finished no lower than fourth place in the last five rounds, including three consecutive runner-up finishes. Each of the winners on Thursday walked away with a prize of $20,871.79.

Hanchey, representing Sulphur, Louisiana, experienced another stroke of bad luck for the second consecutive night on Thursday, narrowly missing the top 6 spots and any prize money that could have extended his lead.

Hanchey’s total earnings stand at $209,927.69, while Pruitt has amassed $203,599.31. Milligan, from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, has secured $186,307.36 in earnings, while Harris currently holds $173,437.91.

Haven Meged, hailing from Miles City, Montana, and Tuf Cooper of Decatur, maintain their positions at first and second in the average time standings.

Michael Otero, the Weatherford cowboy and 2019 San Angelo Rodeo champion, secured sixth place on Thursday with a time of 8.40.

The Wrangler NFR is broadcast on CBS Sports Network, with the coverage starting at 9 p.m.
