We tip our hats to each and every one of you! Whether it be an advertisement, sponsorship or trading your product for prizes. Please know that we really could not do it without you. The WRRA Board of Directors has worked untold hours on conference calls, collecting ads, gathering sponsors and counting and recounting the numbers so that we can make this the best Finals that we can. We have a great group of gals that care about the association and its members. I hope that you can spend the weekend with us, and see just how handy all our competitors are. While you are in Pawhuska, don’t forget to visit all of our local sponsors, shop at the vendors set up at the arena, check out the silent auction that benets our Crisis and Scholarship Funds and buy a couple of tickets for our raffle. Best of luck to all the teams competing this weekend. You should be proud of yourselves! Hoping for safe performances for all contestants and livestock. Safe travels to everyone.

37 RAFTER D MULES There is much history of women’s ranch rodeo with these team members. Bobbie and Keisha are sisters that started out com-peng with their mom, Judy back in the 1900s. There has been much evoluon of the team and the rodeos. Griy and fun has always been this team’s style. This isn’t just a team; this is a family, all sisters in Jesus. Bailey and Carley bring plenty of real life ranching experience but perhaps more importantly, all these girls let their light shine for others. This group includes three daughters and a grandma (and usually a pack of dogs). The best out of the arena crew anyone could ask for. Look for us next year as Sunower Ranch. Bobbie Nelson- I grew up in the Flint Hills of Kansas. At a young age, I was described as one who would “ride the spots o a horse.” Not much has changed, except I try to keep the spots on them. I have lived and competed all throughout the Midwest from Texas to Minnesota. Recently, I have moved to Abilene, Kansas to be near family. I have eclecc interests, as long as it includes riding a horse or mule and even beer if it involves a rope. I have a strong love for Jesus and Appaloosa horses. Carley Farmer - is a Cale Manager / Cowboy at Jauer Livestock in Priddy, Texas. Ranching/Ag History - I was introduced to my rst horse the day I came home from the hospital, before ever going in the house. I started day-working on ranches with my dad as soon as a pair of wranglers would t. I entered my rst team roping with my dad at 7 years old, and have been hooked ever since. I rodeoed my whole life, and now my daughter has a love for it as well. Children - I have a 9 year old daughter, Ria-ta that is my whole world. I also have a 10 year old Border Collie, named Brae - who was my kid before I had a real one, along with two other griy cow dogs - Aries, and Q. Keisha Langvardt-Registered ER Nurse Juncon City, Kansas. I grew up learning how to work on my dad’s farm/ranch with farm work, pigs, milk goats, bucket calves, cow calf pairs and feeder cale. I started compeng in ranch rodeos prior to 2000 with my mom, Judy and sister Bobbie. I’ve worked in the salebarn industry for a couple decades with my husband. Riding through my red Angus based cow/calf herd on my home-raised and trained horses is a great source of peace. I enjoy watching my kids grow and chasing them around. Weston 19, Reece 17, Nolan 11, Ryle 7 Bailey Blackburn- Yard Hand OKC West from Tabor, Iowa. Raised in the Midwest with Ranching & Agricultural background. Currently living in El Reno Oklahoma with daughter, Alice Jo. Life Moo: Aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Favorite Quote: Do the best you can unl you know beer, and when you know beer do beer. 2024 Team Stats 1st place *Grenola, KS #3 *Cross Brand Cowboy Church, Waurika, OK #2 *Cross Brand Cowboy Church, Waurika, OK #3 *Ewell, Gilmer, TX, #3 2nd Place *Red River Shootout, Hasngs, OK #2
