I grew up on my family’s 5th generation cattle ranch on the plains of northeastern
Wyoming. My dearest memories come from rodeoing with my family and spending
quality time with my great grandparents.
I attended the University of Wyoming before returning home to work fulltime as a
Petroleum Engineer. I have continued on with my passion for horses and rodeo
while helping with my family’s stock contracting firms.
I served as Miss Wyoming in June of 2013, and I would go on to represent my State
of Wyoming in the Miss America Pageant in September of that same year.
Within this competition, my deep love grew for the Cowboy State, its history, and its
people. I have worked to serve my community and State by serving on a variety of
boards. I am also a member of Wyoming LEAD Class 16, and I am thrilled to have
the privilege to learn more about agriculture, Wyoming, and to grow as a leader
through this fellowship.
Rebecca works both as a Petroleum Engineer and at her family’s
renown Circle Nine Cattle Company Ranch just outside of
Newcastle Wyoming.
On this massive ranch, the Podio’s raise bucking bulls that are
proven in the NFR and PBR Finals.

The Justin Sportsmedicine Team® does all it can to keep the rodeo athletes competing safely, but the fact is, rodeo is truly a
dangerous business. In fact, it is considered America’s original extreme sport. With each ride, the rodeo athlete risks losing
more than just the next opportunity to compete and win. He or she can also lose the ability to meet the mortgage payments or
the ability to feed and care for his or her family. With no guaranteed salaries or injured reserve provisions in the sport, these
professional athletes are often left with no place else to turn when faced with serious, sidelining injuries and the accompanying
financial hardship.
Recognizing that serious injuries can be traumatic enough in themselves, without the additional burden of financial worries, the
Justin Boot Company formed a partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women’s
Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) in 1989 to establish the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund (JCCF). The JCCF was formed on
the premise of lending a helping hand to professional rodeo athletes and their families in the event of catastrophic injuries. This
fills the void created by financial hardships when the inevitable serious injury interferes with the careers of those who have
dedicated their lives to the sport.
