OAKDALE, CALIF. – The Oakdale 10 Steer was another great roping despite the heat. Ropers still came out to compete and support the oldest 10 Steer still going. The 10 Steer had 19 teams come back to the short round and 16 teams ended up catching all 10 with a “10 Steer” ball cap to prove it. The average winners were Layton and Les Oswald.
We had 50 dummy roping contestants with neat prizes in all three divisions (1st buckles, 2nd spur straps, 3rd ropes, 4th hats). All buckaroos received a goody bag filled with sunglasses, squirt guns (for the heat), bubbles, poppers, snacks and  candy.
  We hope to keep the added money for years to come to help draw the ropers to “the Cowboy Capital of the World.” We could not do any of this without our sponsors and the CTRA board. Our board open-handedly donates their time and energy to put on a successful family-friendly roping weekend. All generous sponsors provide funds for awards, giving the next generation a “swing” at a one-of-a-kind roping.
