Mutton Busting is one of the most popular events at the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo. Young cowboys and cowgirls that weigh less than 70 pounds and are between the ages of 4 to 7 hang on to the wool of the sheep, and try to stay on as long as possible. The rider can earn up to 100 points, based on how well and how long he or she stays aboard.
We will have 10 Mutton Busting riders each night, which will be selected by random draw from the pool of applicants.
Entries for the 2024 Mutton Busting are now open and will close on Friday, May 10th at 11:59 PM. All applicants will be notified by email by May 14th if they have been selected to compete. As a reminder, the 2024 rodeo will be held June 13-15, 2024, on Father’s Day Weekend.
