The Central States Fair has announced that the Pioneer Bank & Trust Professional Saddle Bronc Match will return to this year’s show on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 starting with a cowboy meet and greet at 5 pm.
Thirty of the top saddle bronc riders in the nation will compete for $10,000 in added prize money. Entries include the likes of Chad Ferley, Jesse Bail, Chuck Schmidt, Toas Muncy, Wade Sundell, Tyler Corrington, and Ty Atchison, all just returning from the 2011 WNFR. The lineup of cowboys includes 14 NFR qualifiers, four World Champions with five titles, two Canadian National Champions, and two Indian National Finals Champions.
This event will feature the rankest broncs from four PRCA stock contractors including Burch Rodeo, Korkow Rodeos, J Bar J Rodeo and Powder River Rodeo. Scoring in a bronc match is based on 50 points for the cowboy and 50 points for the bronc. The contractors will be competing for additional prize money if their ten broncs have the highest average score for the event. This format will ensure the best quality bucking stock for the event. “When you match up the top bronc riders with this pen of horses, you are going to see some fireworks!” according to Wade Vos, Rodeo Committee Chair.

January 24, 2012
The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo is pleased to announce that the Ranch Rodeo has set a new record for team entries with sixty teams entering the 2012 contest. The 240 team members represent nine states. This surpasses the 2011 event that drew fifty-three teams from eight states. “The popularity of this event continues to push the seating capacity of the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center to its limits”, said event chair Kevin Schmidt. “There is not a bad seat in the house and this year they will be hanging from the rafters!” he said.
The sixty team format requires an elimination round starting at 9 am on Tuesday, January 31. The sixty teams will compete for event money during the day and the chance to be one of the top twelve teams to advance to the finals at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available for either performance.
The total prize package will be over $20,000 with cash and prizes. The Crew Crop Insurance team from Philip won the event in 2011 and will return to defend their title. “Bragging rights is just about as important as any prize money on this deal,” said Schmidt. You can bet you will see the best wranglers and cowboys at this year’s event.

Perliis is the daughter of Jacque and Keith Perli of Rapid City. She currently owns 10 cow/calf pairs and along with her father’s registered Angus operation. In an essay Perli stated, “I’m working on expanding my herd to my expectation.” As a seventh grader she is involved in 4-H and exhibits cattle in many local fairs with hopes to one day showcase her genetics at the Black Hills Stock Show.
The Cattleman’s Family Legacy program is a scholarship program designed to pass on a donation heifer from a Black Hills Stock Show cattleman’s legacy to the next generation. Eligible participants must be a Western Junior Livestock Show exhibitor ages 8-17 years of age. The scholarship is sponsored by Farm Credit Service Agency, Black Hills Stock Show and Western Juniors Livestock Show.
Perli will take possession of a gelbvieh heifer donated by CJ&L Livestock at the conclusion of the 2012 Black Hills Stock Show. She will be responsible to provide progress reports, select genetics, and show the donation heifer at the 2012 Western Junior Livestock Show as a bred heifer.
CJ&L Livestock is a registered Gelbvieh and Balancer operation started by sisters, Lori and Julie Maude of Hermosa, SD. The registered seedstock operation is an extension of the family’s commercial cow-calf operation. CJ&L Livestock focuses on producing functional, maternal cattle that will add growth and performance for cow-calf producers. As third generation cattle producers, Lori and Julie understand the value of a family legacy.
Kadee Hande, Black Hills Stock Show Livestock Coordinator, said, “This scholarship teaches the value of livestock production to our youth. We want to ensure the success of our young ranchers for future generation and this scholarship teaches them responsibility, business sense and hard work.”
