Welcome to the official site of the
Mid-States Rodeo Association (MSRA).
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.
2025 MSRA Members,
​
As the New Year brings us a fresh start, I would like to thank all who placed their trust in me as the new acting President of the Mid States Rodeo Association.
Moving forward, I plan to continue the momentum Steve and Kandi Shattuck have tirelessly poured their time and effort into, making this Association the best it has ever been. I am leaning heavily into Steve's guidance as he has graciously volunteerd to help us move in the direction he has envisioned.
Vice President Matt McGee and I have been in constant communication to bring new ideas that expand on what has already been set in motion, making this association THE one to belong to. Matt, the Board and I look forward to working together to make the 2025 rodeo season flourish. I am excited to see all of you chase those Gold Buckle dreams.
I'd also like to thank 3-J Rodeo, Big Hat Rodeo, D & D Pro Rodeo, TK Pro Rodeo, ABP Rodeo, Barrett Pro Rodeo and High Steel Rodeo for their continued Support while welcoming Diamond J Rodeo Company into the Association to expand our ever growing membership. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you again for entrusting me with this new role.
