The livestock for the 2023 Wrangler NFR is officially set and we will see these animal athletes take center stage along with the best bareback riders, saddle bronc riders and bull riders in the world in Las Vegas.
You can watch every performance beginning Dec. 7 live and on-demand on The Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel+ App and see the full NFR Broadcast Schedule presented by Mahindra here.
BAREBACK RIDING
It was another great year for Pickett Pro Rodeo’s bareback horses as 12 of them, including Top Notch and Night Crawler, will be at the NFR. That’s the most of any stock contractor in the bareback riding. With 11 and 10 respectively, Championship Pro Rodeo and J Bar J Rodeo are the other two firms to have double digits qualify.
