Cowboy Christmas, or the Fourth of July run, is the most lucrative
week of rodeo’s regular season. It’s a time of year every
cowboy looks forward to, and truly is a holiday in the rodeo world.
Cowboys were competing from California to Canada to Illinois to Texas.
Specifically, Cowboy Christmas included rodeos with at least one performance
between June 27 and July 6. The end result was a week with 29
rodeos worth more than $4.1 million.
