Cattlemen’s Days is one of Colorado’s oldest rodeos. An important aspect of the events has always been the Cattlemen’s Days Queen and her Court. Many young women have successfully served as the public face of Cattlemen’s Days 4-H and PRCA rodeo contestants and spectators.

Gunnison County women between ages 8 to 24 can compete.

Please see the Royalty Tryout Page for more information and an application.
