BY BRETT NIERENGARTEN
The West of the Pecos Rodeo was one of three that paid out big money over the weekend of June 26 and it did not disappoint.
Overall, just over $220,00 was paid out and the winners included Kaycee Feild and Daylon Swearingen both going 90 or more to win the bareback riding and bull riding.
Other standouts included Taylor Santos winning $5,000 in tie-down roping and steer roping to claim the all-around title and two-time World Champion barrel racer Nellie Miller stopping the clock at 17.38 seconds to get the buckle.
The rodeo was a one-header in the roughstock and a two-header in the timed events.
