Okeechobee Cattle Drive To Be On S.R. 70

OKEECHOBEE Normally reserved for vehicular traffic, State Road 70 in Okeechobee will be the scene of a cattle drive from Flagler Park East to the Okeechobee County Agri-Civic Center on July 26 beginning at 10 a.m.

Spectators will see Okeechobee's "Big Boss," Pete Clemons, lead local ranchers carrying flags as they drive some 50 head of cattle down the three-and-a-half mile stretch of road. The arrival of the cattle at the Agri-Civic Center will kick off a day of activities there, including a ranch rodeo with area ranches competing for the top two rankings and a chance to participate in the Florida Ranch Rodeo in Kissimmee the first weekend in October.

Some of the real-life ranch activities in the competition will include ranch doctoring, bronc riding, wild cow milking, team branding and a stampede race. The ranch rodeo will be open to spectators without charge, sponsored by the Okeechobee Cattlemen's Association and local merchants through donations to help defray expenses. The ranch rodeo events are scheduled to begin inside the Okeechobee Agri-Civic Center at 2 p.m.
