OAKDALE, CALIF. – The Oakdale 10 Steer was great this year with the best weather we have had in years. More ropers came out to compete and support the oldest 10 Steer still going. All the event entries were up making the average winnings even greater.

  Our beloved chute boss, Carlos Guajardo, got injured before the weekend events and CTRA and ropers were able to raise over $1,500 towards his recovery. Todd Hampton donated portable panels for auction towards Carlos’ fund. Thank you to everyone who donated.
  The headliner for the weekend was the 10 Steer Roping that this year was won by Colt Piazza and Joseph Shawnego. They roped their 10 steers in 101.80 seconds and pocketed $3,200 each plus saddles.
  The Phil Stadtler Memorial continues to be a huge draw with 186 teams competing this year. Blake Hirdes heeled for Brody Nelson to take the win, $2,300 each plus saddles.
  We had 50 dummy roping contestants with neat prizes in all three divisions (1st buckles, 2nd ropes, 3rd hats). All the little buckaroos received a goody bag filled with sunglasses, squirt guns, bubbles, poppers, snacks and  candy.
  We hope to keep the added money for years to come with the goal to draw 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.”
