While the new Bulls & Broncs events will offer heated competition for the older set, younger buckaroos will have their shot in the arena too.

Saturday beginning at 12:30 p.m. in the Main Outdoor Arena, boys and girls will compete against each other in Mutton Bustin', Calf Riding and Junior Barrel Racing.
The top six contestants in Mutton Bustin', the top four in Calf Riding and the top five in Barrel Racing will then compete at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, also in the Main Outdoor Arena, right before the start of the Bulls & Broncs competition.
Sunday, beginning at 1 p.m. on the Main Stage Outside, young buckaroos will go head to head in Stick Horse Barrels and Dummy Roping.
First place winners in each event and each age group will receive silver buckles. There is no entry fee.
