We’ve been busy preparing and getting the kids ready for the USTRC Finals. It’s one of the few places they get to rope for a lot of money. Hali has struggled this year after getting raised to a 5+ after last year’s USTRC Finals.

The thing that will let you be most successful in roping, regardless of ability level, is being able to consistently catch your cattle. I see so many people who practice trying to make a fast run, when their time would be better spent trying to make clean runs on challenging cows. The first and last cow of the day is very important and I encourage my students to treat them like a high teamer they need to be under 11 seconds on, and try to make a clean run.
