The Cowboy Christmas run is officially underway, and this Morning Kick episode dives deep into the two biggest rodeos of the Fourth of July slate: the Cody Stampede in Wyoming and the St. Paul Rodeo in Oregon.

These are the highest-paying rodeos of the week, Cody at about $400K and St. Paul at $500K, and a single ride or run could be worth over $10,000. From bareback riders posting 90+ scores in Cody to top bulldoggers like Dalton Massey and Will Lummus battling it out in St. Paul, this preview covers key stats, money implications, and athletes to watch in each event.

Why do the Wright brothers dominate Cody’s saddle bronc? Which timed event cowboys have cashed in at both rodeos in recent years? Will Haley Kinsel and Sister strike again? Get the insights that matter most during the busiest week of the season.
