Cowboy poet Baxter Black’s iconic words “There’s a hundred years of history” ring true for the Black Hills Roundup this year. The Roundup will cel-ebrate its 100th year of rodeo and western action over the 4th of July holiday.

Perhaps even sweeter than cele-

brating a century’s worth of rodeo

action is the fact that the Roundup is

the reigning Professional Rodeo Cow-

boys Association “Medium Rodeo of

the Year.” The rodeo and committee

were inducted into the PRCA Hall

of Fame in Colorado Springs last

August for their outstanding produc-

tion. This year’s Roundup may be the

most memorable to date. The landscape has changed as

several upgrades were made to the

Roundup Grounds since last year.

Most noticeably, the wooden bleach-

ers were replaced. “It was a pretty

big controversy with tearing the old

ones down, but it was time. I made

the call and worked with the city

and got them built. Huge project,

but kind of state of the art now,” says

committee chairman, Clay Crago. As

a way to preserve the wood from the

old bleachers, the committee con-

structed a building for merchandise

and memorabilia. “It’s a pretty cool

Some ranchers whose private land and federally-administered grazing allotments were burned by the U.S. Forest Service agreed to a settlement this week.According to Vince Gunn, Sha-

dehill, South Dakota, is one of three entities who agreed to set-tle with the federal government.

According to the Rapid City Journal, he three settlement agreements that were filed Wednesday came after a multi-day mediation session in Rapid City. The agreements say the government will pay $90,000 to Vincent and Susan Gunn, $81,000 to Duane Meink and $70,000 to the Darci D. Feifer Limited Partnership, of which David and Lori Bossman are general partners. Of the $90,000 he was

awarded, Gunn said nearly half of that will go to cover lawyer fees. “Knock $35,000 or $40,000 off for the attorney fees and court costs and everything,” he said expert witnesses, sales tax and other fees will have to come out of the settlement.“In the end, we probably got

enough to cover the fencing costs,” he said. He will not be compensated for lost forage. Gunn said local fencing crews charge $10,000 to $12,000 per mile to put in new fence, and he lost over 4 miles of fence in the fire.

He had to replace some wood posts already. “I couldn’t get by without having cattle there for six years,” he explained, saying the fire had destroyed the wood posts.
