A month ago, the Cowboy Lifestyle Network, Ak-Chin Indian Community, and Earnhardt Auto Centers Road Team covered the PRCA Turquoise Circuit Finals Rodeo and Fair, along with professional photographer, Ric Anderson in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The entire event was very exciting as the Fairgrounds came alive every evening with entertainment from country bands such as the Yarbrough Band, the Casey Donahew Band, and the Turnpike Troubadours. For those of you who are not familiar, the Turquoise Circuit is made up of rodeos that occur in New Mexico and Arizona.
In the United States, there are eleven other circuits or areas that host rodeos, where the competitors fight for the chance to perform at the Ram National Circuit Finals in Kissimmee, Florida in April.

At the most recent Turquoise Circuit Rodeo on October 4, 2015, many of our favorite athletes gave their best and took home a nice chunk of change like the all-around cowboy, Trenten Montero, who won $9,353 for his bareback riding and bull riding skills. Other top competitors included Brandon Bates (steer wrestling), Bobby Baize and Bode Baize (team roping), Cody Taton (saddle bronc riding), Joseph Parsons (tie-down roping), Sherry Cervi (barrel racing), and Brent Lewis (steer roping) to name a few.
