Montana has a rich history of ranching and is known for its western traditions. With wide-open spaces to roam and decades of raising cattle, Montana has birthed generations of professional athletes and some of the Northwest’s most prestigious events.
Some rodeos in Montana are PRCA-sanctioned, while others are local cowboy competitions or even longstanding annual festivals. June through September marks the biggest rodeo season in Montana, with multiple-day summer rodeos attracting contestants from surrounding areas.
