Cowfolk, rodeo champions, and Western entertainers came together for the WRCA's 28th World Championship Ranch Rodeo.
The Working Ranch Cowboy Association (WRCA) was established in 1995 and celebrated its 28th World Championship Ranch Rodeo on November 9th, 2023, in Amarillo, Texas. The weekend featured the world championship and the youth world championship rodeos where working cowboys compete in individual events.
