The Top Ranch Showdown is set to return on Thursday, April 30th at the Uvalde County Fairplex as part of the full three-day Cactus Jack weekend in Uvalde, Texas.
Some of the toughest ranch bronc riders in the country will compete, all battling for the title of 2026 Top Ranch of the Cactus Jack.
This event brings a different kind of grit to the arena. Ranch bronc riding is built on tradition, horsemanship, and true cowboy skill. It is raw, fast, and one of the most wild events in western sports.
After Thursday night’s competition, the Top Six riders will return during the Friday night performance of the Cactus Jack PRCA Xtreme Bull Riding on May 1st for the Friday Night Shoot Out, where the final battle will determine the 2026 Top Ranch of the Cactus Jack.
Fans coming for the full weekend will get to experience both the Top Ranch Showdown and two nights of PRCA Xtreme Bull Riding action featuring some of the best bull riders in the world.
