Sandhills Stock Show

Sandhills Stock Show And Rodeo mask

Our 2012 stock show brought 356 4-H and FFA families from Odessa, Midland and across West Texas. These families represented 114 chapters and showed 670 animals. There were Hereford heifers and steers, fine wool lambs, and market goats. The SandHills Steer Show is the only Junior Livestock Show in the state of Texas which is exclusively Hereford cattle. Likewise, our Lamb Show is unique in that we show only Fine Wool Lambs. Because of this, the quality of the steers and lambs shown in Odessa rivals any show in the state. In addition to the prizes and premiums awarded in our shows and our sale, participating students also compete for scholarships. Livestock World will be live streaming the Market Steer Show.

HOTEL INFORMATION There is currently a severe shortage of hotel rooms in Odessa and the surrounding area. We tried, but were unable to reserve a "room block" in any hotel. They simply don't have enough rooms available to block. The Odessa Conventions and Visitors Bureau http://odessacvb.com has a list of 31 local hotels. Please reserve your room early. You can cancel a room if it turns out you don't need it (be sure to verify the hotel's policy) but if you wait, you may NOT be able to find a room.

A breif history of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Legend has it that rodeo was born on July 4, 1869 when two groups of cowboys from neighboring ranches met in Deer Trail, CO, to settle an argument over who was the best at performing everyday ranching tasks. That competition is considered to be the first rodeo which evolved into rodeo as we know it today. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
