RodeoHouston Honored By ACM Awards As The Best Fair and Rodeo of the Year

"The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ promotes agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western heritage and provides year-round educational support within the community."

The rodeo itself at Houston has become one of the best that the country has to offer. It is prestigious and incredibly difficult to get into. Between eight different professional events they awarded over 2.5 million dollars at this year's rodeo alone.

The concert lineup was also impressive to say the least. From March 4 to the 23, there was a concert every night with some incredible headliners including Luke Bryan, Post Malone, Brooks and Dunn, Bailey Zimmerman, Journey, and many, many others.

This year on the side where the youth livestock show took place they broke selling records for every animal, minus the steers, but they were still the highest sellers overall. The grand champion and the reserve grand champion steers sold for a combined 1.365 million dollars.

The goats, turkeys, lambs, broilers, and barrows all sold for record prices this year. The grand champion barrow took the top honors between all of them with a selling price over 500k.

Now RodeoHouston is not limited to just the rodeo, entertainment, and animal showcase from the younger generation. There are plenty of other activities they host like an art show, a carnival, and really anything else one could imagine.

An award from the ACMA is a prestigious honor. There are thousands of people who make RodeoHouston the production that it is and every single one of them should be proud.
