  • Ute Stampede in two weeks


Ute Stampede to feature nation's top bullfighter

The Ute Stampede will feature one of the top bullfighter of all time at this year's rodeo.  Joe Baumgartner has emerged over the last decade to become one of Professional Rodeo's all time great bullfighter.  A record eleven consecutive times (1992-2002), the nation's top 30 bull riders have voted Baumgartner to protect them at the Wrangler National Finals in Las Vegas.

The respect shown Baumgartner is unprecedented in a sport considered as the most dangerous in the world.  At any time, at any rodeo, bull riders face the prospect of serious injury or even death.  They count on bullfighter to step in and prevent ugly wrecks and arguably no one has done it better than Joe.

His ability to prevent disaster is his signature.  He anticipates hang-ups and wrecks like no other.  His cat like quickness lets him get in and get out, giving the bullfighter a chance to escape.

Joe turns 37 years in September.  He says he feels fit and sharp as ever!  The personnel that hire him agree.

Don't miss this chance to see one of rodeo's all time greats right here at your very own Ute Stampede, July 10, 11, 12.  Buy your tickets at 435-623-5608.  You'll be glad you did!
