First off, We want to apologize it has taken us a few days to get this posted, but it’s been an exciting and unforgettable weekend between wrapping up the rodeo and welcoming our beautiful new granddaughter into the world!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who made the 14th Annual Sweetwater FFA Rodeo such an incredible success. To every contestant who came to compete, every volunteer who gave their time, every worker who put in countless hours before, during, and after the rodeo, every sponsor who believed in us, every friend who stepped in wherever they were needed, and every spectator who filled the stands—you are the reason this event continues to grow year after year.

This rodeo is much more than just two nights of competition. It’s a community coming together to support the Sweetwater FFA and its students, and seeing that support from so many people means more than words can express.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners! We hope everyone had a great time, made lasting memories, and we’ll see you all back next year for an even bigger and better 15th Annual Sweetwater FFA Rodeo!

Thank you again for making this year’s rodeo one we’ll never forget. God bless each and every one of you!

From All of us at Rafter S Bucking Bulls, Sweetwater FFA, Wooten Rodeo Company, and Diamond B Rodeo!

Everyone that was at the rodeo we have a young man who lost his wallet at our rodeo. It’s a camouflage wallet if you may have picked it up by mistake please let us know we will offer a small reward if it’s turned in. If you’d rather you can pull to our arena anytime and leave it on the announcers stand no questions asked! His information is in the wallet. Also we have another young man who lost a sentimental pocket knife. It is a black knife with silver blade and red accents we would appreciate any help in finding these items!

After an incredible weekend of rodeo, we’re already looking forward to the next exciting chapter here at Rafter S Bucking Bulls!

Many of you had the chance to meet our daughter Ally and her fiancé Gabe at the rodeo Friday night, and now they’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of their beautiful baby girl. We ask our rodeo family to join us in saying a prayer for a safe, smooth delivery and for a healthy momma and baby.

We can’t wait to welcome the newest little member of the Rafter S family. 💗🙏
