Gallery: Fraternities and sororities saddle up for Intramural Rodeo

April 9, 2021 by David Mitchell

The Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Club hosted its 65th annual Intramural Rodeo at the Taylor County Expo Center Thursday night. Fraternities, sororities and other groups competed in several different events such as cattle wrangling and calf branding. The Riding Club held barrel races and performed routines with their horses.
