The 30th Anniversary of the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals was held at the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls on January 9, 10 and 11, 2009. Montana’s best PRCA Pro Rodeo contestants competed against each other and put their skills on the line against some of Montana’s finest PRCA rodeo stock. Circuit titles were on the line as the top cowboys and cowgirls vyed for year end titles.

The contestants holding the top positions coming into the finals in each event were as follows:  Bareback Riding – John Collins of Buffalo, WY with $10,712.84; Steer Wrestling – Beau Franzen of Worden with $11,601.21; Team Roping  Header – Matt Robertson of Augusta with $10,352.12 and Team Roping Heeler – Kory Mytty of Lolo with $10,026.58; Saddle Bronc Riding – Jesse Kruse of Great Falls with $11,357.98; Tie Down Roping – Ryan Siemsen of Billings with $9,558.08; Ladies Barrel Race – Lindsay Knaff of East Helena with $18,929.73; and Bull Riding – Dustin Jenkins of Missoula with $13,369.69.   The All Around title has Dustin Bird of Cut Bank coming in with $12,601.83 over Beau Franzen of Worden with $11,881.46.   

As the three performances played out during the circuit finals, the year end titles were not decided until the last show on Sunday, January 11th.  Montana Circuit contestants who won either the year-end title or the average title at the circuit finals also qualified for the Dodge National Circuit Finals held in Pocatello, ID.

A Montana tradition, the selection of Miss Rodeo Montana is based on horsemanship, appearance and personality competition with other finalists from across the Big Sky State. Miss Rodeo Montana serves as a vibrant, colorful goodwill ambassador of rodeo, working with PRCA rodeos to keep our western heritage and the rodeo industry alive and flourishing.

Join your friends before and after the finals at the “Long Branch”. It’s located at the west side of the Four Seasons Arena. Featuring a western rodeo atmosphere, with lively refreshments and big-screen closed-circuit television so you don’t miss any of the Finals action.
