For the third consecutive year, the NRBC Board and Management team are excited to present the Yellowstone Rookie Shootout, sponsored by Paramount Network’s hit series Yellowstone. The 2020 Yellowstone Rookie Shootout will continue a tradition of honoring Rookie reiners with special time in the spotlight and a very special prize!

In order to be eligible for the Shootout, exhibitors must enter both slates of Rookie classes. The Top 5 composite scores (plus ties) from Wednesday and Thursday Rookie classes will advance to the Shootout with no additional entry fees. The Yellowstone Shootout round will be held in the Ford Truck Arena of the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square Friday night before the start of the NRBC Open Classic Challenge.

Yellowstone and Paramount Network came on board as sponsors in 2018, and after two successful seasons of incredible popularity, the show is now headed for season three and another Yellowstone Rookie Shootout.

Avid reiner Taylor Sheridan is screenwriter, producer, and director of the hit series that stars Kevin Costner on the Paramount Network. Yellowstone finished its record-breaking second season with a number of #1 ranks: the top summer series across all of cable TV among total viewers (5.1 million average); as well as the #1 scripted series in the key P18-49 (1.93 rating) and P25-54 (2.71 rating) demos among cable and broadcast; and cable’s #1 summer series among total viewers.
