Sam Branham, Steve Biggerstaff, Jon Schmalz and Clayton Smith won trophy saddles at the Annual Mesa County Cattlemen's Ranch Rodeo in Collbran, CO on August 4th. 10 teams participated in the event coming from different areas around the state. They achieved their success by having the fastest time on four events. The four events where: Team branding, team penning, sorting, and loading a pair and horses in the trailer. All four men either currently or have worked at Mountain Island Ranch on Glade Park for several years. These men work hard, enjoy what they do and are very accomplished.
