Is the world's largest live entertainment and livestock exhibition since 1932. It also includes the richest regular-season PRCArodeo event. It has been held at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, since 2003. It was previously held in the Astrodome.actual rodeo.
The Calf ScrambleSince the addition of the event in 1942, it has been one of the more popular events during the. The event features 14 calves and 28 students who must try to capture one of the calves, put a harness on it and bring it back into the "winners square" in order to claim the win. One of the rules is that as long as a contestant is actually in the act of holding the calf (i.e. Holding it by the tail) to get the harness on, no other participant may interfere unless the calf wriggles itself free. It's at this point where the calf is fair game once again. The event is held nightly between major events in the Reliant Stadium. Each of the students who catch a calf is awarded a $1,250 certificate to purchase a registered beef heifer. Raising and showing this heifer becomes a yearlong project as the scrambler sees to the grooming, feeding and care of the animal. The exhibitor returns to the Houston Livestock Show the following year for a special competition. Calf Scramble exhibitors receive a $250 bonus when they return to compete with their heifer, totaling their $1,500 certificate.actual rodeo.

Ja, ihr lest richtig ich war auf mein erstes Rodeo und es war super auch wenn es an diesen Tag super warm war. Natürlich wurde dieses Event zum Aupair Meeting erklärt. Wir trafen uns gegen Mittag an unseren ausgemachten Treffpunkt, bis wir alle da waren verging 'ne lange Zeit. Zuerst ging es zur Livestock Austellung, dort konnte man sich Tiere angucken, shoppen was das Herz begehrt Autos,Traktoren, Schuhe usw... Nach einiger Zeit wurden wir hungrig und wir entschieden uns für Tex Mexx Food. Ich muss dazu sagen ich liebe Tex Mexx Essen und bin erstaunt, dass ich nich nicht zu genommen habe. Bin zusammen mit meiner Area Director und ihren Mann zum Lunch gegangen. Gegen 3:30 trafen wir die restlichen Auapair's an unsern Treffpunkt. Schnell wurden noch Photos gemacht und dan gings ins Stadium. Normalerweise wird im Stadium Football gespielt nun war es die Rodeo Arena. Wir hatten super Sitzplätze 
in der Nähe vom Bullriding. Als wir an unseren Plätze eintrafen liefen bereits die Wettbewerbe,unterandern sah ich: Bull Riding, Barrle Riding, Bull Wrestling usw. Bei allen Wettbewerben war ich sehr beeindruckt und hatte respekt und bin froh, dass ich diese Sportart nicht ausübe.Während den Wettbewerben liefen auch die Siegerehrung und was die Leute an Siegerprämien bekommen ist unvorstellbar.
Nach einem sehr schönen Aupair Meeting ging es mit dem Shuttelbus zurück zum Park & Ride Parkplatz.
