Twenty-nine teams competed in the Whetstone Valley Rodeo Association’s (WVRA) fourth team penning of the season on July 22. The money-winning teams penned three cattle in under 55 seconds. Mike McKernan, Tom Graham, and Casey Yamaura placed first. Lonnie Schrunk, Casey Arndt, and Calvin Thompson took home second. Brad Hanson, Monte Rosen, and Gary Letrud placed third.

Eighteen teams participated in the Add ‘em Up event. Teams are given a number and must pull three cattle from the herd whose numbers add up to that number. The fastest time of 19.9 seconds was clocked by Randy Schuchard, Jenny Bussard, and Dave Hardie. Close on their tail, and placing second, was the team of Blaire Wittnebel, David Bury, and Keith Kelly.
