Rodeo is a competitive sport that showcases skills related to cattle herding and ranching. It originated in the American West and features events such as bull riding, calf roping, and barrel racing. Participants, known as cowboys and cowgirls, demonstrate their abilities in handling livestock and riding horses. Rodeos are often held at fairs and festivals, attracting large crowds. They include both timed events, where speed is crucial, and judged events, where technique and style are evaluated. The sport celebrates the traditions of cowboy culture and promotes a connection to ranching and agriculture.
