The Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, in partnership with the Oklahoma Ford Dealers is preparing for the 36th Anniversary of the OCA Ranch Rodeo on August 21 and 22 at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Okla.
The OCA Ranch Rodeo consists of twelve ranch teams of 'real ranch' cowboys that compete in five different events mirroring many of the activities of daily ranch life.
The 2020 participating ranches include: Alfalfa County Land & Cattle, Cherokee, Okla.; Gray G Bar, Shidler, Okla.; Buford Ranches, LLC, Hominy, Okla.; Stuart Ranch, Waurika, Okla.; Drummond Land & Cattle Co., Pawhuska, Okla.; Hall Ranch & Daube Cattle Co., Comanche and Ardmore, Okla.; Treadwell Land & Cattle, Frederick, Okla.; Chain Ranch, Canton, Okla.; Lazy Rafter Slash Ranch, Lenapah, Okla.; Trentman Ranch, Pawhuska, Okla. and Steirwalt Ranch & Cattle, Co., Shidler, Okla.; Whitmire Ranch, Delaware, Okla.; and McPhail Land & Cattle, Mountain Park, Okla.
The competition is fierce, but the cowboys don't take home much more than bumps and bragging rights. They participate with one goal: to support the Children's Hospital Foundation (CHF).
"The Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association's Ranch Rodeo has a close relationship with the Children's Hospital Foundation (CHF) that spans 22 years and entails raising more than $531,000," said Weston Givens, Ranch Rodeo Committee Chair.
The event has affectionately been called, 'Cowboys Helping Kids' because of our long-standing relationship with Children's Hospital Foundation.
"We've hosted many 'Miracle Children' over the years and met their families. Those connections make our mission real and heart-felt for the participating cowboys and the committee that works to coordinate the event."
CHF funds children's medical research and treatment for children right here in Oklahoma. The funds raised for CHF in Oklahoma, stay in Oklahoma.
According to Givens, the Oklahoma Ford Dealers have supported the OCA Ranch Rodeo since the beginning as the presenting sponsor.
"The Oklahoma Ford Dealers believe in our mission and have been extremely loyal over the years," Givens said.
