Is anybody watching????? 

This year will be the first time I miss watching it! Ugh! But I am going to a clinic and will be in a hotel. 

LOL ..... the last time I stayed in a motel (last fall) they had RFDTV .....I was surprised! 

Oh cool, I'll check to make sure, thanks!

I forgot about recording it. . . Been a touch bit busy!!!   But definitely gonna watch the finals--thanks again for keeping us in the know on the times, etc

For the first time I won't have to watch it on TV, i'll be there! 

And cheering on a hometown cowboy in the calf roping- Caddo Lewallen !!

Here is a chance to watch some of the "up and comers" in the rodeo world ...... 

4:30P (Eastern)
March 7, 2020
The Cowboy Channel's Junior NFR
Season #2020, Ep. 1
Qualifiers age 14-19 will compete in the long go-round with the top 15 contestants advancing to the semifinals, and the top 6 move on to compete in RFD-TV's The American. The Jr. NFR will feature bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping (header/heeler), girl's breakaway roping and girl's barrel racing.

I'm not watching either, really dont watch to much TV unless its after 9:00 pm. Or if its rainy or to hot/cold and cant get much done. But thought I'll give this a bump back up

It sure doesn't seem like too many have much interest in it this year ???? 

This is the first year I won't be going, and I'm disappointed. But since they split it into 2 days, the cost to go and have good seats is just outrageous. I refuse to pay $70+ in fees per person to the ticket companies, so we will be tuning in at home this year! 

Yikes ... that is outrageous ..... plus the fact that IF you wanted to see the slack, some of the Semi Finals and the Finals, you had to be in Fort Worth for 2 weeks ..... I sure noticed that there were a lot of empty seats at the Semi Finals performances. 

I had lost interest after the Tuff Cooper fiasco and they let him come back. But when they added the breakaway, I got interested again. I won't pay to watch it but I do really like the concept of the "weekend warriors" and amateurs getting a chance to compete with the big dogs. 

I dont watch much in the way of Rodeo's on TV or in person, the only one that I really have interest in is the NFR, by the time it comes on I'm ready for bed and I can sit still for it, unless it comes on a later time and I just cant keep my eyes open.

 The American is being streamed by 321video. 

Been loving watching all the rodeo action on Cowboy Channel, and looking forward to watching American this wknd. The NFR, The American, and Calgary Stampede are on the must watch list!

Loving all the rodeo action on cowboy channel!!  I see Houston is on now too!  We've come A LONG way from barely getting the NFR on TV! Hope they keep it up! 

List of contestants ....... not the draw (yet) and I think there will be at least one contestant (each event) from the Jr. NFR ....

Set to record; thanks Miss Norma!

IF you are watching and HATE the split screen on the Cowboy Channel ....change to RFDTV ..... 

I do HATE the split screen.  So very distracting and smaller picture but I had it recording on the Cowboy Channel so whenever I switched to the RFD channel I had missed most of it.  I've got it recording on RFD for today though.   

I know .... Hubby was ready to shoot the TV until one of my friends told me to switch to RFD .... and WOW..... the Cowboy Channel on FB was getting LOTS of complaints.... LOL ... I am ready for this afternoon ...... 

Got the snacks all ready ... Little Meat Pies to bake; Smokies in Sweet & Sour sauce to heat; Ham Roll-ups; Shrimp Dip; Meat and Cheese slices and assorted crackers; Chips and Dip ...... Getting ready to watch the American Rodeo Finals this afternoon and cheering on two boys with Iowa roots ...... Riggin Smith (Grandson of Chuck & Betty Smith) and Quade Hiatt (son of Chad Hiatt) .....

i should be at your place by 2pm ;)

I did watch the bulls last night, ANDDDD oh my gosh, they sure were rank bulls and beat some of the bull riders up pretty bad. Poor Stetson Wright and the other young man that got head butted, Danggggg

Is there ANYWHERE online where I can rewatch this??

I'm really enjoying all the rodeo coverage this year. 

I really hope the cowboy channel learned their lesson with the split screen. That was awful!!

The new set up for the arena really changed up the barrel racing. Even some of the most seasoned rodeo horses struggled, especially on 3rd. 

What an awesome horse race. I was excited to see Stevi Hillman win it, I've always liked Truck!! Of course I have to cheer for Utah's Kaycee Feild! 

Can you imagine being 19 and walking away with a 600K check! 

Dang... nice spread! Can I come over next time?!
