Preserving

the Western Way of Life

The Crooked River Roundup Foundation brings together members of the community from all walks of life who share our passion for farming, ranching, rodeo, animal health and wellness.

UPCOMING EVENTS

No finalized schedules yet for the upcoming events.

We are deeply committed to enriching the lives of our youth and the communities they live in; by providing education and scholarship opportunities to young minds interested in ranching, farming, and animal welfare. Additionally, we educate students on matters related to rodeos, ranching, and other rural topics.

Our work includes creating and maintaining facilities and other public spaces, monuments, and artwork that fosters this type of learning.

At the same time, we seek to lessen the burden on local governments by caring for these public areas and instill a sense of civic responsibility among our volunteers and the community.
