Colorado Mutton Bustin' Championships
Rodeo All-Star is excited to bring  mutton bustin' championship to Denver!
What is mutton bustin'? Five to seven-year-olds under 55 pounds ride a sheep out of a chute and into an arena. Like professional rodeo events, time and score count. Anything goes and usually does, as contestants cling to the back of thickly coated lambs for as long as they can.
The Mutton Bustin’ Qualifier will take place before the start of each rodeo, with up to 300 kids participating in each event. The top 8 scores and 2 lucky numbers from each qualifier will compete in the Championship round during the rodeo.
Mutton Busters will be assigned a lucky number at check-in. The two lucky numbers will be drawn after the qualifier to give two mutton busters, who had not already qualified, a spot in the Championship round.
