Athletes Step Into Spotlight During Memorable Weekend at Red Bluff Rodeo

The month of April in professional rodeo is known for the California circuit. Red Bluff Round-Up just concluded and had nearly a $530,000 payoff. 

24-year-old Cody Stewart of Janesville, Calif. was the star of the rodeo. As an all-around cowboy he took home over $11,000 after placing in both the tie-down roping and the team roping. 

Stewart (heeler) was teamed up with Dan Williams Jr. The pair was the reserve champion of the rodeo after placing in the first and third round as well as the finals! In the tie-down roping, Stewart had a fourth place finish in the average. He picked up good checks in the third round and the finals as well. 

Steer wrestler Dakota Eldridge took home the four-head average win. Coming off of a big second place finish at San Angelo, Texas this is a huge win to keep the momentum going. Between the two rodeos Eldridge won just shy of $21,500. He is now sitting No. 17 in the world standings and most of his 2025 earnings came from these two rodeos. 

LaTricia Duke dominated the barrel racing from start to finish. She took home second place in both rounds as well as the average. The average race was tough. There was only half of a second between first through tenth place. 

The breakaway roping, as well as the rough stock events, were only one round as opposed to the other events. Courtney Crum was the overall champion to take home $4,700. With only one run, the payout is a little higher for the round. The breakaway roping paid 15 holes and there was only .7 of a second between the girls.

There will be a continuous change in the world standings as these rodeos go on. California is notorious for its atmosphere and high payouts which is why so many competitors travel west for April. As Clovis starts this week it will be awesome to see who else has some luck out there!
