Melstone, Montana saddle bronc rider Sage Newman scored his first-ever NFR paycheck this week at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. We caught up with him in person during Cowboy Christmas Thursday afternoon.

And I got a kick out of this- he says he's not even a gambler. He says it's more fun to watch other people lose money.

We caught up with Jennifer Boka Thursday morning LIVE from Cowboy Christmas at the Las Vegas Convention Center. She is a sports agent who represents a few of the athletes competing in the NFR- including Montana saddle bronc rider Sage Newman and world champion tie down roper Haven Meged.

One of the big standouts at this year's National Finals Rodeo (NFR) is Edgar, Montana's own Parker Breding. It must be in the name, because this bull rider is certainly a big bread winner in Las Vegas for this year's NFR.

Choteau, Montana native Will Rasmussen scored some big honors in Las Vegas. This, as the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) is underway. Plus, hear how the Montanans are performing so far.

Who's going to be in Vegas for the NFR? We'll be there, and we're looking forward to catching up with any Montanans who will be in the house for Cowboy Christmas and the National Finals Rodeo (NFR).

Here's another great reason to get out to the Big Timber Weekly Pro Rodeo- Wednesday, August 4th and Wednesday, August 11th the proceeds from all of the concessions sales and other donations will go towards local Shriners to help with the children's hospital.

He's number 3 in the world, and when it comes to Montana's Bitterroot Valley, he's a local boy. Professional bareback rider Richard Champion will be back in Darby this weekend for the "Riggin' Rally" at the Darby Rodeo Arena. Sounds like a great opportunity to not only see some good rodeo featuring some of the best in the world, but also a great opportunity to cheer on a local. Her... Re

Wally Badgett brought some rodeo greats on to our LIVE show. He also shared some great Buckin Horse Sale stories. The best story he shared, was about something that DIDN'T happen- the crowd was stunned.

Why is Flint Rasmussen so sure that the bull riders will stand up for the national anthem? Because rodeo represents the greatness of America, the real West that thankfully still exists, and these riders love America.

First, let's talk about some of the best news out there- the World Famous Miles City Buckin' Horse Sale is a GO this year. We got that important reminder as we were chatting with our friends from the Montana Pro Rodeo Hall & Wall of Fame.

The "most exciting sport on four legs" will energize the Magic City beginning Friday (5/14), and Cat Country 102.9 is giving you multiple ways to win tickets to see the world's best rodeo riders at MetraPark.
