OCA Ranch Rodeo Announces the 2022 Participating Ranch Teams

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. May 26, 2022 – The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, in partnership with the Oklahoma Ford Dealers is preparing for the OCA Ranch Rodeo, No. 38 on August 19 and 20 at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Okla.

The OCA Ranch Rodeo consists of twelve ranch teams of ‘real ranch’ cowboys that compete in five different events mirroring many of the activities of daily ranch life.

The 2022 participating ranches include: Spur Ranch, Vinita; Gray G Bar Ranch, Shidler; Buford Ranches, LLC, Hominy; Stuart Ranch, Waurika; Drummond Land & Cattle, Pawhuska; Daube Cattle Co. & 3C Cattle Co., Ardmore, 4V Cattle & Cross V, Bristow; Lazy Rafter Slash Ranch, Lenapah; Whitmire Ranch, Delaware; Quarter Circle 99 Ranch & Rafter D Ranch, Loco; Trentman Ranch, Pawhuska and Stierwalt Ranch & Cattle Co., Shidler, McPhail Land & Cattle, Mountain Park.

The competition is fierce, but the cowboys do not take home much more than bumps and bragging rights. They participate with one goal: to support the Children’s Hospital Foundation (CHF).

“The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association’s Ranch Rodeo has a close relationship with the Children’s Hospital Foundation (CHF) that spans 25 years and entails raising more than $585,500,” said Weston Givens, Ranch Rodeo Committee Chair.

The event has affectionately been called, ‘Cowboys Helping Kids’ because of our long-standing relationship with Children’s Hospital Foundation.

“We’ve hosted many ‘Miracle Children’ over the years and met their families. Those connections make our mission real and heart-felt for the participating cowboys and the committee that works to coordinate the event.

CHF funds children’s medical research and treatment for children right here in Oklahoma. The funds raised for CHF in Oklahoma, stay in Oklahoma.

According to Givens, the Oklahoma Ford Dealers have supported the OCA Ranch Rodeo since the beginning as the presenting sponsor.

“The Oklahoma Ford Dealers believe in our mission and have been extremely loyal over the years,” Givens said.
