Round 8 of the 2024 NFR kicks off Thursday Dec. 12 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

The tie-down ropers will run the big pen of calves which weight between 250 and 250. This is the same pen of calves from the second and fifth rounds.

“This pen of calves except for one still has a lot of try,” Lanham Mangold said. “I think we’re going to see something special out of Riley and Shad tonight. It’s a great race between the two and that’s great for the sport of calf roping.”
