How It All Started
Copper Hill Arena officially lit up the area on July 12, 2025. It was founded by the Yutzy family, who's life and business are built on values like faith, family, hard work, and community. Our goal is to keep the Western spirit alive—not just in the arena, but in how we treat people and take pride in what we do. After years of planning and hard work, we’re excited to welcome you to Copper Hill Arena.
Ranch Rodeo is a thrilling, team-based competition that showcases the real-life skills used every day on working cattle ranches. Unlike traditional rodeos that focus on individual timed or scored events like bull riding or barrel racing, ranch rodeos are all about teamwork, authenticity, and gritty cowboy know-how.
Teams of working cowboys and cowgirls (usually four to six people) compete in timed challenges that demand speed, precision, and communication, just like they’d need out on the range.
Events You’ll See at RanchFest:
