The MSRA is based in Michigan and sanctions rodeos throughout the Midwest states including Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Our members compete in the seven standard rodeo events: Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Ladies Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling as well as Ladies Breakaway Roping.
The MSRA is proud to promote professional rodeo as a sport; to strive at all times to insure honesty and fairness to both the contestant and producer; to create an amicable relationship among stock contractors and to inspect, sanction and advertise rodeos being sponsored in accordance with association standards.

Hello,
The summer run is here and in full swing. Thank you to the Committees that have chosen Rodeo for your fair or events. We have been seeing an increase in money added and awards at some of the rodeos this season, which is great to see. The MSRA has a schedule of 94 rodeos on the books this year so far and the entries have been great. Thank you, contestants and members, for supporting the hard work that has gone into this year’s schedule.
The Mid-States Finals Rodeo will be 3 performances on Oct. 11-13th. This year’s finals will be held at the Show Arena in Swanton Ohio. We are excited to announce that the board of directors has accepted and passed the proposal to have $5,000 added money per event with $5,000 a side in the Team roping for the 2024 MSFR. The 2024 MSFR will be paying out over $70,000 plus awards surpassing last year’s totals. There will be a back number & awards ceremony dinner again this year at the Bunker Bar located in Holland Ohio on Oct. 10. More information will be coming soon in the long listings for the finals.
The MSFR Arena and Announcer positions for bid have been sent out to contractors and announcers. Proposals are to be sent into the office by July 15th for the board to consider and vote on. If you haven’t received a request, please let me know ASAP.
If you or your company would like to Sponsor the MSFR, we have plenty of options, bucking chute, bull fighter, barrel man, pickup men, event sponsors or arena gate sponsors. Let us help you find the best package for your advertising needs.
Rule proposals deadline will be July 11, 2024. Please send your proposals to the MSRA office so they can be published on our website. If you need help or have any questions pertaining to the proposals, please contact me anytime.
We hope you have a safe and fun Summer and Good luck to everyone.
Respectfully,
Steve Shattuck
