Farm-City Pro Rodeo is one of two PRCA Playoff Series Rodeos in Oregon in August and it paid out between $5,500 and $10,200 to all of the winners.
Brody Cress Adds Another Big Saddle Bronc Riding Win
Cress won more than $8,000 at two different rodeos over the weekend - Lea County and Farm-City. In Hermiston, he made his biggest ride of the weekend with 90 points on The Calgary Stampede’s Flying Carma.
“It has been awesome to be able to draw the right horses and go out there and make the most out of them,” he said. “I’m ready to continue doing it.”
He has four wins in August already and gained our positions in the PRCA World Standings in that stretch.
Tie-Down Roper Joel Harris Gets in the Winner’s Circle
Joel Harris has won big checks in Houston and Nampa, Idaho this season, but hadn’t won a rodeo outright since his first of the season, the Columbia River Circuit Finals.
Harris won almost $9,000 in Hermiston and was 17.6 seconds on two, including a Round 2 winning 7.8.
“I was unsure about winning it. I thought I’d win pretty good, but there’s a lot of good ropers in the next two sets, so it was pretty crazy to end up winning with how many there were,” he told ProRodeo.com.
Barrel Racer Andrea Busby Fights Off the Bubble
Busby entered the weekend ranked No. 14 in the World Standings, with her first NFR appearance in her sights. She took advantage over the weekend, winning the Farm-City Pro Rodeo with a 17.10-second run and topping the field at the Cache County Fair and Rodeo in Utah. Her efforts earned her more than $15,000, and she’s now poised to leap two spots in the World Standings.
Other winners were Mason Stuller in the bareback riding (169.5 points on two), Eric Logan in steer wrestling (7.9 seconds on two), Tanner Tomlinson/Patrick Smith in team roping (9.2 seconds on two), and Jeff Bertus and Colton Schneiderman in bull riding (88.5 points).
