The National Show is in the books! And wow, what a show! There were some outstanding cattle from Texas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. A new add on to this year’s show was the 1st Annual Open NACA Steer Wrestling Jackpot and American Qualifier. Jace Logan from Colorado was this years winner pocketing $1940!

Well Folks, the dust finally settled, or was it the humidity…at any rate, here are the show results for the “Fun in the Sun” Texas Corriente Cattle Show and Roping in Bridgeport, Texas the weekend of June 26-27, 2020. There were around 70 head of cattle that showed up to be judged, members from Montana, South Dakota, Mississippi, and Texas, and the team ropers thru some fancy loops in the performance class. And you should have seen the buckles for this event…WOW! If you couldn’t make it this year, I sure would plan on it for next year…those buckles were fancy (you need one!) Thank you members for putting on this show. They are a lot of work and would not exist if it were not for our hard working members and their desire to see our association succeed. And a final shout out to all of the sponsors that made this event possible. Our grand show sponsor Morgan Livestock Equipment. They brought out one of their setups especially made for corriente cattle. It was a well built piece of equipment and I heard a lot of oooinnngg and awwwiinnnggg over it!
Thank you also to 5-G Feed Store in Chico TX!

Congratulations to all of the class winners, they really came to show some good looking cattle. We shall see everyone at the National Show in September!
Judges for the show were Tucker Ashley, performance classes & females. Ryan Long judged the bulls and get of sire.
Look for the full article in the next issue of the Corriente Corresponder….
They have plenty of gates, chutes, tubs…all things cattle! And I hear they have special working chutes for horned cattle…go check them out here.
Since taking on the position of the Executive Director of the NACA, I have always been intrigued by its history, all of the far-fetched stories, and also the bloodlines. So, since it was a wet and dreary weekend, I dug out past Corresponders and started from the very beginning. Wow, is all that I can say. And I feel such gratefulness for the founding fathers that put this association together-for us and for future generations. Talk about a good group of knowledgeable, well liked Cowboys and Cowgirls full of integrity that came together to form this association. Here is an excerpt from one of the first Corriente Corresponders:
“True Corrientes have become more and more difficult to find. Tighter controls on the Mexican border have restricted importation of the pure mexican stock. The mexicans themselves are turning more to beef animals, so the original Corriente may be headed for extinction.”
“In order to preserve these unique and valuable animals, a group of Corriente breeders in the western United States and Canada recently formed the North American Corriente Association. The purpose of the association is to promote the expanded use of this outstanding rodeo animal, and to institute and monitor a registered breeding program to preserve the true breed and make it available for the fast growing rodeo circuit. A buyer of registered cattle will be assured that the animals possess the traditional attributes of the Corriente.”
“The Association was organized as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Montana, with its principal offices in Billings, Montana. Bylaws, Rules & Regulations governing membership and registration were adopted at the organizational meeting held October 16, 1982. The formal registry has now been established, and the Association is accepting applications for membership and registration.”
So if you are wondering what kind of organization we are, let me tell you, I have three full binders of history, bloodlines, and very educational pieces here in front of me-every one of these newsletters was put together by our membership that is full of knowledge and integrity! Join our group, you won’t be disappointed!
The Show must go on! Bridgeport, Texas is where it’s at! Click here for the show packet.

This is the ad that the NACA published in the Arizona Jackpot Journal. We have members that head south and enjoy the Arizona sun in the cold winter months, so we thought we would put some of our marketing efforts in the southwest region. We have great members and cattle across the United States.

Why Register | Why Buy Registered
The NACA Registry exists to preserve the Corriente Cattle bloodlines, and to support your ability to find quality Corriente Cattle, but you have a role too. The association is funded through your cattle registrations and transfers. Without them, the association, the herdbook and all the accompanying benefits, would cease to exist. We ask all members to register and transfer their stock to help support the preservation of this heritage breed.
Registering your cattle will increase the value of the herd well beyond the minor cost of the registration fees. Buyers place a premium on the knowledge that your herd does not include the genetics of other breeds. Registration Certificates and the accompanying pedigree back up the legitimacy of your herd and provide a history of each animal. Continue reading

The summer of 2016 was an exceptionally dry season for northeast Wyoming. Things had not improved much by the time the PACA Show rolled around in late September, which isn’t necessarily bad weather to gather Corriente folks and cattle. Nary a tenth of an inch of rain had fallen all summer. Ten breeders, 55 head of cattle spread across 87 class entries showed up in Gillette for the beginning of what was shaping up to be a fine weekend. After unloading, tagging & penning the cattle, the assembled Corriente crew gathered in the arena for a BBQ feast hosted by the PACA (catered again by Pokeys Smokehouse). Everyone enjoyed catching up with old friends over supper prior to the Fundraiser Auction. It’s truly a family reunion when the PACA gets all these dear friends together every fall – seriously.

There are many different ways to market Corriente Cattle, but as with any business it must start with a plan. I have listed tips that I hope will help new, and maybe even some established, Corriente breeders to be more successful raising and marketing their cattle.
First, there are many variables in different areas of the country such as when is the best time to calve, availability of forage, cost effectiveness of supplemental feed, etc. However, as with any business, there are several things we need to look into. They are product (Corrientes), location, target customer, promotion and price. Continue reading
North American Corriente Association breeders were asked to supply the team roping cattle for the Professional Cowboys Finals Rodeo and the Dixie National Quarter Horse Show!
NACA breeders and stock contractors, Douglas Dale of Dale Cattle Co. and Tony Wilson of 4W Corrientes, supplied the cattle for the 20th annual PCFR held in Biloxi, Mississippi January 16th-19th, 2015. The top 15 headers & heelers from the Southeast as well as the top 15 competitors in the other rodeo events battled it out for the title of CHAMPION.
During and after the rodeo, nearly half the team ropers personally found the stock contractors and told them “That was the best set of cattle we have ever roped at the finals” or literally thanked them for bringing to cattle so it could roping contest and not a drawing contest. Continue reading
