NIXON -- A daring ride and dismount by a member of the Y Bar Ranch of Tilden led his team to victory Oct. 17 at the Nixon-Smiley Ranch Rodeo. Judges awarded B.J. Posas an 82 for the ride that ended when he was thrown over the top rail of the arena, giving the team the lead in that round. Posas was recognized as the Ranch Rodeo’s Top Hand. Proceeds of the Wild Hog Cook-off & Ranch Rodeo support the FFA, Family Career and Community Leaders Association, and 4-H programs of the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District. The Y Bar Ranch was the top recipient in the auction, or rodeo Calcutta, with a bid of $1,350. The Solomon Land & Cattle Co. of Falfurrias and South Texas Cattle Marketing also received bids of $1,000 or more. Qualifying round Thirteen teams competed in the preliminary round of the rodeo, with $250 in prize money awarded in each event. In the first of the three preliminary events, JC Ranch of Nixon led the way in the hog-sacking contest -- a Nixon-Smiley Livestock Show “signature” event. Coming in second was Stockdale’s South Texas Cattle Marketing. In this timed event, teams mounted on horseback ride toward a trailer containing numbered wild hogs. All members except one dismount, enter the trailer, catch the assigned hog, and put the animal in a burlap sack. The mounted horseman is handed the sack containing the hog. He then races toward a barrel, rounds it, and heads back to the trailer to return his “squealing buddy” to his teammates, to be placed back in the trailer. The 4L Ranch led the pack in the trailer-loading contest, followed by the Y Bar Ranch. The team’s goal is to lasso a steer and persuade the animal onto the trailer in the fastest time. The final event in the preliminaries was the branding contest. The JC Ranch again took first place, followed by the Solomon Land & Cattle Co. Finals The first- and second-place finishers in the first three events joined the Wexford Ranch of Victoria to advance to the finals. In two of the three final events -- ranch bronc riding and wild-cow milking -- the Y Bar Ranch took first place. Y Bar’s time of 31.50 seconds in the wild-cow milking contest garnered a first-place finish. This beat the 4-L’s second-place time of 36.81, and Wexford’s time of 40.62. The Solomon Land & Cattle Co.’s time of 51.31 seconds led the double-mugging round, followed by the 4-L’s time of 67.88. Double-mugging is similar to calf-roping, with a twist -- two different sizes of cattle are released at the same time, from two different chute locations, making for speed and confusion. Cows utilized in the milking contest were seen again in this event. The third and final event was wild bronc riding. The Y Bar Ranch finished first and took the overall title. Two cousins, Trevor Henderson of the JC Ranch and Ty Brzozowski of South Texas Cattle Marketing scored a 76 and 73, respectively, in the wild bronc ride event.
