The City of Earth, Texas hosted the WRCA Annual Ranch Rodeo on Friday, September 19, 2025 and the Earth Ranch Youth Rodeo the morning of September 20, 2025, followed by the second round of adult events held that evening.

The WRCA 2025 schedule began in March in Florence, Arizona and will end in Amarillo, Texas with the World Championship Ranch Rodeo which will kick off Thursday, November 12-16, 2025.
In March of 1994, a group of people from across the western United States created the Working Ranch Cowboys Association. WRCA produces the World Championship Ranch Rodeo to showcase the skills of the working ranch cowboy and to raise funds for the WRCA Foundation, which provides financial assistance to working ranch cowboys and their family members. The Association maintains a Crisis Assistance Fund to provide financial and other assistance during significant hardships as well as a Scholarship Fund which provides financial assistance for continuing education in a collegiate, trade or vocational program.
