Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
 
Calf Scramble

The line of distinctive red- and white-shirted competitors files into Reliant Stadium in grim determination. One of the wildest, most spirited and extremely heartwarming events at RODEOHOUSTON™ is about to begin! Each night, 28 scramblers compete for 14 calves.

Supervised by an agricultural science teacher or county extension agent, winners must keep accurate and detailed records of the animal’s progress, submitting records to both the Show and the donor to chronicle the heifer’s development.

Each year, approximately 350 certificates are awarded. Since the Calf Scramble was added to the Show in 1942, $9,853,500.00 has been awarded in certificates and bonuses to 18,242 young Texans.

Stalling

Calf Scramble Exhibitors will now be stalled in the Calf Scramble section by FFA/4H. You will still need an individual stall decoration.

  • Stall signs cannot include any sponsor references. The correct term to use is donor.
  • All Scramble heifers must remain in their assigned scramble stall with the exception of being stalled in a tie out.  Violators will forfeit all awards and premiums.
