The traditional Siskiyou County events - Mutton Busting and Saddle Cow will be contestant winners from the local rodeos and contacted by the Rodeo Committee.

The Rodeo Committee is focused on three key objectives: (1) to provide safety for everyone involved in the event, (2) to ensure that rules are fair and followed by participants int he events, and (3) to ensure this is a fund, thrilling and entertainment event for everyone.

We encourage you to read all the rules carefully and in their entirely. While we have made these rules with safety in mind, we and our agents do not assume any liability in respect to the rules, your application thereof and your safety. We have provided flexibility in areas where, in our opinion, safety is not compromised, nor an unfair advantage created in the interest of ensuring fairness that the rules are subject to the interpretation of our event officials.
