THANK YOU

The Duvall family would like to thank our sponsors for the 44th Annual Duvall Steer Wrestling Jackpot. Without their gracious support, none of this would have been possible! It is the great support of these businesses and people that keep bringing the cowboys back to Checotah each year! This year we had contestants from over 15 states and Brazil. We were qualifying events for the WCRA, Ote Berry Junior Steer Wrestling Finals, Hooey Junior Patriot, and the American. We were live streamed on Facebook and everyone had a wonderful time! Thank you to all of those that bought merchandise or came out to eat some yummy food!
