About


Empire Rodeo Company is a new rodeo company started in 2018 by a group with an interest in bucking horses and bulls. With almost 50 years of combined experience of breeding and raising bucking horses, Milo Dewitt, Elliot French, and Ralph Lausten are striving to create a uniform herd of horses for their rodeos. They are working with the best genetics available to achieve this goal.

The Gallego brothers, Efren, Alonso, and Joel have raised and put together a very impressive herd of bulls for Empire Rodeo Company. These young men are competitors as well as dedicated partners in the rodeo company.

All partners involved in Empire Rodeo Company have competed in rodeos throughout their lives, most have competed in the timed events as well and will strive to have the best timed event cattle available for their rodeo. Their goal is to put on rodeos that will be good watching for the spectators and good even stock for the competitors. All the partners of Empire Rodeo want everyone to have a good experience and have fun at the rodeo and are open to any suggestions in helping to making this happen.
