SOME of the top rodeo competitors from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria will head to Narrandera and Whittlesea for rodeos in the Australian Professional Rodeo Association this Saturday. (Feb 24)

The rodeos will be the perfect preparation for competitors aiming to compete in the three rodeos on the Victorian long weekend in March and the 10 rodeos in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria on the Easter long weekend.
