Show Kerby Stock Is Selected for National Rodeo DENVER, Colo. The top cowboys will tangle with the best bucking stock in North America at the 13th annual National Na-tional Finals Rodeo, the Rodeo Cowboys Association said. Prize money totaling $94,500 awaits the top 15 money-winners in each event at the "world series" of -rodeo, scheduled sche-duled for Dec. 4-12 in Oklahoma Okla-homa City, Okla. But to win any money the cowboys must ride the "buckingest" horses and bulls to be found. For this year's Finals, 240 outstanding bareback broncs, saddle broncs and bulls have been selected from the bucking strings of 26 rodeo stock contractors con-tractors throughout the United States and Canada. The stock is hand-picked by the Association's board of directors di-rectors on the basis of each animal's performance at some of the 538 Association-sanctioned rodeos held during the year. Fans who attended the Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove rodeo last June sav bucking stock owned by D. A. Kerby of Salt Lake City. Kerby had three saddle broncs, one bareback bronc and seven bulls selected for the finals. |
