One of the wildest, most spirited and extremely heartwarming events at RODEOHOUSTON® is the calf scramble, which takes place after the rodeo action in NRG Stadium. With Texas 4-H and FFA members and calves darting in every direction across the NRG Stadium floor, the calf scramble becomes one of the most chaotic, unscripted and favorite events of the Rodeo.
Since the program’s inception in 1942, following the 2020 allocation of calf scramble certificates, approximately $14.8 million in certificates and awards has been distributed to more than 21,800 students.
