Cattlemen’s Days is one of Colorado’s oldest rodeos, beginning in 1900.  An important aspect of the events has always been the Cattlemen’s Days Queen and her Court.  Many young women have ably served as the public face of Cattlemen’s Days 4-H and PRCA rodeo contestants & spectators.

Please download and read the Royalty Tryout Application Packet and the Code of Conduct before filling out the application. It includes eligibility, requirements for holding a Cattlemen’s Days title multiple times, portfolio information, reining pattern info, topics for your speech, royalty attire, and expectations for your reign.
