Rolling into the last four rounds of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo things are heating up in several of the World Title races.
Here is how things are shaping up going into night seven:
In the All-Around, Stetson Wright holds a small lead of $2,174.07 over Bowie, Texas cowboy Clay Smith.
In bareback, Clayton Biglow out of California holds a $33,612.32 lead over Orin Larsen from Nebraska
Lousiana steer wrestler Tyler Waguespack is $3,652.04 ahead of Montana’s Ty Erickson.
In team roping on the header side, Smith is $69,791.19 ahead and with a round win and a few scenarios playing out in his favor could put himself in position to clinch the World before the final round. In heeling, Jade Corkill from Fallon, Texas, sits $25,168.03 ahead of his next competitor and is quickly closing in on the title.
Zeke Thurston the Canadian saddle bronc rider is $10,464.62 ahead of Ryder Wright. This may be a race to watch, Ryder Wright is known for his big rides in Vegas and with a couple of big nights can make a run at his second title.
Sulfur, Texas cowboy Shane Hanchey has used a couple of round wins to give himself a $36,489.78 lead over San Angelo, Texas cowboy Ty Harris.
In barrel racing, thanks to two huge round wins and a very consistent finals, Nellie Miller holds a thin lead over Hailey Kinsel of Cotulla, Texas.
Again in 2019, bull riding is the event with the biggest story. Sage Steele Kimzey holds a $107,878.09 lead over Boudreaux Campbell out of Crocket, Texas. With the round win last night Boudreaux climbed his way into the second spot. In order for him to make a real challenge for the title, Sage would have to have a couple of bad nights and he would have to top every round.
The other factor in bull riding is Stetson Wright has put together a couple of good nights in his bid to bring the All-Around Title back to its glory of the rough stock end. However, Smith continues to perform strong and make his push to keeping the All-Around Title at the timed event side of the arena. We will wait and see if Stetson can string together four big nights and make his mark in history by being the youngest All-Around winner and doing so from the rough chutes.

One of my professors out at Texas Tech University always told us that we aren’t just raising cattle, we’re raising grass, because without grass there is no cattle business. The same applies to most livestock species and crops we seek to raise- without good land management, no good yield can grow.

With the prolonged drought, most pastures in Oklahoma end up in poor condition. With the lack of available forage, animals may go in search of alternative foods.
If oak trees are in the pastures, acorns may be a favorite meal for some livestock in the fall. This may result in oak poisoning.
Oak leaves, twigs, buds, and acorns may be toxic to some animals when consumed.

There are a handful of grasses on North Texas grazing lands ranchers need to know, not because they are highly desirable, but rather because they are not of much value. I call them “decom” plants, which is am acronym for “Don’t Ever Count On Me.” Silver bluestem is a “decom” grass.
Silver bluestem is a perennial which grows in all areas of Texas. It can survive in almost all soil types, and in full sun conditions or in semi shade. It grows up to three feet tall and is easily recognized with the presence of the white fuzzy seed head. Also, one of the identifying characteristics of Silver bluestem is a bend in the stems at each node, causing the plants to take on a rounded shape as they mature.
