Originally scheduled for March, the Jr. National Finals Rodeo will now take place at Cowtown Coliseum from June 28-July 3.
The event will not only crown the 2021 World Champions, but it will also earn the winners of the timed events a spot in the Semi-Finals at RFD-TV’s The American in 2022.
Overall, there is room for 1,200 contestants total and the payout for the winners will be at least $10,000. The Jr. NFR is a tournament-style rodeo, concluding with a clean-slate Shootout Round on July 3.
“We will provide our contestants a one-of-a-kind opportunity and showcase the best of the best in all of youth rodeo,” said Anthony Bartkowski, Director, Athlete Development & Welfare. “Jr. Rodeo’s vision is to provide contestants the ability to perform on the biggest stage and jump-start their PRCA careers.”
