Born to Buck: Calgary Stampede Ranch | Northwest Profiles (2003) | KSPS PBS

Journey to the wide-open prairies near Hanna, Alberta, and discover the heart of Canadian rodeo at the legendary Calgary Stampede Ranch. In this KSPS PBS Northwest Profiles episode, go behind the scenes at one of North America’s premier rodeo stock breeding operations — where world-class bucking horses and bulls are born, raised, and trained for the iconic Calgary Stampede. Founded in 1961, the Stampede Ranch spans over 22,000 acres of rolling grasslands, home to some of the most celebrated rodeo animals in the sport. Meet the ranch hands, stock contractors, and caretakers dedicated to maintaining the health, strength, and spirit of these incredible animals — and preserving a proud tradition of Western heritage in Alberta.
