Obama’s second term was ending and there was a new president was chosen on January 20,2017 and this was one of the worst days for the Latinos in RGV aka Rio Grande Valley. This day was when President Donald J. Trump got in office at the white house every Mexican in the Valley was so worried about this day because while he was doing his run for president, he said things that offended a lot of Mexicans and those things he said was “Mexicans are Rapists, Criminals and Killers” also Trump said: “All Mexicans that are immigrants will go back to Mexico” and “I will build a wall so immigrants will not cross over”. While the things he said in the speeches during his run for presidency caused a major outbreak on all Mexicans wanting him not to be

Have you ever heard of rodeo? I’m sure you have but did you know that it’s a mixture of many events such as Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, and many, many more. In the text below I will be walking you through who invented rodeo and a couple of events in rodeo.

Ever since forty plus years ago Agriculturalists have shown a variety of show cattle and ran ranches with them. I showed cattle for a few years throughout my FFA experience. Cattle have played a huge role in our society feeding families and other people who reside in this world. Their effect on human culture is something that we take much pride in when raising our cattle whether it is for companion or meat products. Previous cattle showman know and strive to achieve the ultimate goal: winning grand champion. This reward is earned by having the best show calf in the ring to the judge’s perspective. In order to reach this goal, the exhibitor must use proper feeding methods and show technique. (Insert thesis here.)

Responsibility isn’t for everyone, and it definitely isn't for the lazy. I started the summer of 2016 out by catching at the Calf Scramble in Houston and have only grown to love my heifer. Calf Scramble has not only brought me closer to the animal, but to my family too.

Rodeo has been around for several decades and has gradually become very popular around the world. The three events that have been apart of the rodeo since the beginning include saddle bronc, steer roping, and bull riding. Rodeo is a great sport for cowboys and cowgirls to compete in an event that suits their lifestyle. These contests have changed dramatically since the first official rodeo in the late 1800’s. Because the rodeo event was created in 1888, ranchers culture has been brought to the world and created into a world wide sport.

Rodeo is popular throughout the United States and is the official state sport for South Dakota, Wyoming, Texas, and Idaho. People think we are just entertaining the people and think the animals are physically provoked to make the cowboys look more impressive (Nielsen 1). Really that isn’t true its really how good of a hand you are and how well and experienced you are riding an animal. Some people make their horses hard in the mouth pulling back to much and that isn’t a good hand on a horse. A good hand on a horse has their horses mouth super light so with a little touch of the foot and rein your horse will turn a complete circle without pulling hard.

Bull riding has a long rich history, it can be traced back all the way to the early 1800’s. Cowboys would get together and have contests in things they normally do on a ranch like roping and trying to break horses, but you didn’t have to get on the back of a

The sport of Rodeo has been a tradition in the United States since the cowboys of the American West began pushing herds of cattle across this country. Often, there was very little to do besides hard work with the cattle and horses, so the cowhands would often get together and compete with each other in the skills that they practiced every day on their jobs in order to relieve boredom. The first competitions in rodeo consisted mainly of riding bucking horses and roping steers, cows and calves, because this was what their work consisted of. Each ranch would send their best cowboys they had. The cowboys were competing only for the honor of their ranches they worked for, and their bosses who owned those

Desert Immigrants: The Mexicans of El Paso 1880-1920 analyzes and discusses the Mexican immigrants to El Paso, Texas. The most western city of the vast state of Texas, a city in the edge of the Chihuahuan desert; a place too far away from many regions of the United States, but as Mario García explains a very important city during the development of the western United States. He begins explaining how El Paso’s proximity to different railroads coming from México and the United States converged there, which allowed El Paso to become an “instant city”, as mining, smelting, and ranching came to region. (García 2)

You may have heard that “everything is bigger in Texas.” and if you really want to experience how everything is bigger, you go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR). The HLSR, or “Houston Rodeo” as it is referred to by Houstonians, is the largest event of its kind in the world and has been in session since 1932. In 2013, The HLSR had more people in attendance (approx 2.6 million) at the Rodeo than the entire population of the city of Houston (approx 2.1 million), which happens to be the 4th largest city in the United States as well as the most populated city in the state of Texas. The HLSR is held at Reliant Park for three weeks during March, and since parking is always a hassle, Reliant Park also happens to have one of the largest parking lots available as well.

The city of Louisville hosts approximately 100 special events for the community every year. The events bring millions of dollars to the economy and range from the Kentucky Derby, Iron Man, World Feast, University of Louisville events, concerts, and many more. There is no doubt the events pose a positive impact on the city and local businesses.

Its all about competition and who can be better. At least, that’s what most people think. Some people actually feel like the rodeo is a fun, upbeat environment. They don’t care about who they beat and who they don’t. Now steer wrestling, that’s all about the competition.

Some people who show get inspired to work with animals in the future. Some of them end up going to college to become a judge for livestock shows. My friend morgan who’s been showing with my sisters since I was like three, is going Cal Poly right now for that reason. Doing this activity takes a lot of dedication, from around May to about October I am waking up early to feed my goats, then working and feeding them every night. Also I have to weigh them every weekend and keep track of their weight. Showing and taking care of goats is a lot of work, but in the end it is so much fun. When you win something big and you know that all your hard work paid off is the best feeling. Anybody can show an animal, you can join a 4-H club, or when in high school you can do FFA, and doing both clubs will teach and help you with your project. I love showing and all that comes with it, even the work. Working with my sisters and friends from my 4-H group on my animals, are some of my favorite memories. People never really see this part of the fair, but to me it’s my favorite part and always will be. Nevertheless showing will forever be a part of my life, even when I am not doing it

I also know that twice each year The Outlaws come to town, and it is an incredible party. The Outlaws are a group of the best sprint car drivers in the country that tour around to different tracks all around the United States. Whenever they come to the Grove it is usually their only stop in the midstate and they race against each other and the local drivers who band together into what is known as the Pennsylvania Posse. In our local paper they usually have a write up about The Outlaws whenever they come to town, so this is where most of my basic information comes from. For living so close to the track I should probably know more than I do, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

(Transition: Now that you have some understanding about ropes, let’s swing into my next point, which is the event of team roping.) II. Rodeo has many different events, but today I am going to focus on one event, team roping. A. Team roping consists of two competitors, each of them on a horse, and one target, which is the steer. 1.
