Western National Roundup

The Western National Roundup brings together 4-H and FFA youth from across the nation to compete, learn, and connect through a series of educational contests and leadership events. This long-standing tradition celebrates teamwork, skill-building, and personal growth while providing opportunities for young people to showcase their knowledge in agriculture, equine science, and civic engagement. Whether participating in a contest or supporting your state’s delegation, Roundup offers an inspiring experience that strengthens confidence and community.

All transportation associated with Western National Roundup will be the responsibility of each State team(s) or individuals. Coaches/Chaperones will be responsible for transportation of participants to and from the National Western Stock Show and CSU Spur Campus prior to, and after all contests, including Livestock & Horse competitions.
