The Siskiyou Golden Fair Rodeo Committee is producing the Fair Rodeo again and it will consist of a performance of 10 contestants or teams per event. The committee reserves discretion to add contestants to event totals. The Rodeo will be filled by registering online starting July 1st.

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.

QUALIFICATIONS: The Rodeo will be filled through online procedures. Payment must be made by credit card at the time of registering to qualify for the 2025 Siskiyou Golden Fair Rodeo. The exception being Saddle Cow and Mutton Busting which will be filled with a roll down within qualifier rodeos in Siskiyou County - qualified ties at any rodeo supersede roll downs.
