About Us
Come see the greatest sport on dirt at the 2024 Cattlemen Days Rodeo on August 23 & 24! For 50 years, the Cedar Valley Riders and the Ashland Optimist have been bringing PRCA rodeo to Ashland, Missouri. With rodeo performances beginning at 8:00 pm on both nights, there is something for everyone!
Veterans, join us Friday night for Veteran's Night, sponsored by The Callaway Bank. Veterans can pick up (1) complimentary ticket with Military ID from the Ashland branch or Friday night of the rodeo, while supply lasts. Saturday evening from 6:00-7:00pm, bring the kids to the Kiddy Round Up, sponsored by Martin Equipment! Children must be 12 and under. Activities include stick horse barrel racing, roping and barrel bull riding.
See cowboys and cowgirls compete in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding with the finest stock Three Hills Rodeo has to offer! Parking is limited, we highly recommend carpooling if possible. Concessions will be available both nights. For those 21+, the beer tent will be serving up ice cold beer. We are a CASH ONLY event so please plan ahead!
***To prevent risk of injury to spectators (children), cowboys and other arena personnel, please stay off of the fence during the rodeo performance.
ONE warning will be given. There will not be a second warning. Children and parents or any violator will be escorted from the rodeo grounds.
