The pick-up men at the Sheridan WYO Rodeo are the cowboys on horseback working the rough stock events— bull riding, saddle bronc and bareback riding. Pickup-men play an important role in assisting riders and increasing the safety of competitors.
Flag carriers have been an important part of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo for many years. They strive to perform horsemanship at the highest level, while carrying in sponsorship flags on all four nights of the rodeo. They put in many volunteer hours of practice year round to prepare for the rodeo in July.
Will Rassmussen has been the announcer at the WYO for the last several years, voicing the town’s largest event, introducing cowboys and keeping the crowd on its feet. The WYO wouldn’t be the same without Will!
The Stock Contractors are the companies that bring livestock to the arena for rodeos – bucking horses and bulls for the roughstock events and steers and calves for the timed events. The Sheridan WYO Rodeo has a great one, right in our midst, providing top tier animals to the events everyone loves. The longtime stock contractor of The WYO is world-renowned Sankey Pro Rodeo out of Joliet, Montana.
JJ Harrison has been entertaining the Sheridan WYO Rodeo crowd and has become a mainstay of each performance. Starting his career as a rodeo clown in 2005, he’s known for his improve-style comedy and quick wit to keep the crowd engaged, performing at rodeos across the country including the NFR. A family man, JJ loves the WYO, returning every year since his first visit in 2016.
