The competition in the steer wrestling is an ideal mix of multi-time world champions and fresh faces with athletes such as Tyler Waguespack, Will Lummus and Dalton Massey as they claim the Top 3 spots in the PRCA World Standings.
No. 1 Dalton Massey, $81,123
Dalton Massey is having his best season yet as he currently leads the PRCA World Standings with a career high of $81,123 in earnings.

Massey was also in the money at La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros with a round win and multiple impressive runs to accumulate $10,166 in Tuscon, Arizona. His success didn’t stop there, Massey advanced through to the Final Round of Rodeo Austin where he landed in fourth place to take home a total of $4,051.
No. 5 Jacob Talley, $40,086

RodeoHouston was also a success for Talley as he laid down multiple runs that landed him in the money and ultimately a spot in the 10-Man Round where he finished out last but was able to earn a check and take home $9,000 in overall earnings.
No. 13 Stan Branco, $23,512
