Rodeo competitions sprang from the natural demands and skills needed in the cattle industry. Saddle bronc riding and roping events are obvious in how they relate to the working cowhand of 130 years ago and even today. On cattle ranches from Florida to the eastern plains of Oregon, the need to ride a horse, rope a calf or a steer still remains important.
