During the 1920s, when country kids ventured off to college, they wanted to take their sport with
them. Their passion and their Western way of life led to today’s finest college rodeo athletes being
highlighted in the first ever RODEOHOUSTON™ Collegiate Championship, which was held on the final day
of the 2005 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™.
For a cowboy sitting atop a bucking bull or bronc, or participating in a
steer roping event, it takes just a few seconds to achieve victory. Rodeo
spectators get a brief glimpse at the talent of the competitors and the
power and personality of the rough stock, but what they are seeing is the
exciting culmination of years of preparation.
The most obvious results of the Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo Agricultural Mechanics Project Show are
the finished projects on display in Reliant Center for all to
see.
Music and wine have built a strong partnership between
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the ever-successful
Kendall-Jackson.
