Behind every great rodeo is a great Stock Contractor who knows the business of buckin’ horses, buckin’ bulls and timed event cattle. The Burke Stampede is proud to say that we have once again pardnered with one of the best in the business, Chancy Wilson and crew of Muddy Creek ProRodeo. Muddy Creek has been our contractor of choice for many of the 35 years of rodeo in Burke. Chancy recognized that the Stampede had been doing everything professionally except inviting the cowboys and cowgirls of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and WPRA (Women’s Professional Rodeo Association) to compete on our arena floor. The Burke Stampede took Chancy’s encouragement and advice to heart and hit the dirt running being sanctioned by the PRCA for the first time ever in 2021. It was all we had hoped for and dreamed of and more, now five years later, we are not looking back! Once again, welcome home Chancy Wilson and Muddy Creek ProRodeo to the Legend that is THE BURKE STAMPEDE RODEO!
