DILLON, Mont. – The Montana Western head rodeo coach JT Robbins announced the Bulldogs' 2025 spring rodeo schedule.

This year's spring schedule includes six rodeos that will be spread across four weekends. 

The first rodeo to kick off the season will be at Montana State University for the MSU Spring Rodeos #1 and #2 from April 10 through the 13. The weekend will see four days of rodeo action with four public performances. 

Following the weekend in Bozeman, the Bulldogs will travel to Havre, Mont. where they will compete in the MSU-Northern Rodeo. They will follow up with the annual Miles Community College Rodeos #1 and #2 the weekend of April 24-27. The spring season will then culminate in the final rodeo that will be hosted by the University of Montana.

The 2025 College National Finals Rodeo will be held June 15-21 this year if there are Bulldogs that qualify. Last year, the Bulldogs sent nine athletes to compete across the week, with eight competing for the men's team and a lone Bulldog from the women's side. 

UMW rodeo has four athletes who are at the top of the leaderboards heading into the spring season. 2024 CNFR qualifier and top 15 placer Tavy Leno currently leads the region in goat tying. 

Two-time CNFR qualifier and Big Sky Region champion bull rider Gavin Knutson currently leads in the standings.

Team roping pair Cole Trexler (header) and Kyler Erickson (heeler) lead the region by an impressive 208 points heading into the spring season.
