If there was one common theme among the roughstock contestants at the NFR this year, it was that the stock in 2018 was just plain RANK. Even what was supposed to be the hopper pen was a “souped-up” version that hardly made for a day off for the contestants in Las Vegas. 

To be named top stock of the finals in the bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding truly was an honor – and a battle – to win this year. So a huge congratulations goes out to the three winners:

Bareback Horse Of The NFR: Beutler & Son Rodeo’s Nutrena’s Killer Bee

Saddle Bronc Horse Of The NFR: Northcott Macza’s Get Smart

Bull Of The NFR: Big Stone Rodeo, Inc.’s Spotted Demon

We thought we’d take a look at not just the great stock performances, but the great matchups of the 2018 NFR and give you your very own chance to vote on whom you thought did the best eight-second dance on dirt this year. So get voting on the best performance as a pair by selecting your favorite from the three lists of the animals that helped cowboys to the highest scores of the finals below:
