World Cup Finals 2021

Day 5 of the 2021 World Cup Finals

November 1, 2021 Posted by Ashley Shisler Uncategorized

The fifth day of the 2021 World Cup Finals kicked off at 9am on 10/28/21. The John Deere Gator Specialty Ropings finished up, along with 9.5 Preliminary and 9.5 Shootout.

Starting off Day 5 was the 9.5 Preliminary. A high-paying roping that put $33,770 back into the top three teams pockets:

1st : Blake Mitchell & Wyatt Rita, $15,250

2nd: Mattox Moyer & Dace Morris, $10,350

3rd: Ben Butt & Grant Sippel, $8,170

Fast Time: Suzie Johnson & Ben Butt, $400

All the way from Hawaii and Wisconsin, this duo brought the heat for their runs. Mitchell said it is important for him to, “stay in postition and give them a good handle.” The duo had never met previous to the roping, but they sure work great together.

The 9.5 Shootout followed immediately after the 9.5 Preliminary. A total of $59,770 was paid back to these teams:

1st: Blake Mitchell & Wyatt Rita, $23,210

2nd: Dirk Henderson & Eric Hoelting, $16,710

3rd: Ben Scott & Ethan Claiborn, $11,950

4th: Philip Charlton & Jerod Struthers, $8,440

Fast Time: Kelsey Kaniho & Levi Rita, $800

Proof that these two brought the heat. Rita said putting in for the Preliminary with Mitchell was “the best investment of the week.” The duo walked away with a combined total of over $38K, new buckles and a new friend.

Following the 9.5 Shootout came the 9.5 40 & Over John Deere Specialty Roping. The top three teams earned a combined total of $27,500:

1st: Lynn Dale Toon & Gary Cripps, $12,240

2nd: Jeff Cargill & Steve Zumbrunn, $8,310

3rd: Robin Bland & James Andrews, $6,950

Fast Time: Donnie Schneider & Mark Smith, $400

Toon and Cripps “put the nail in the coffin” on this run. They have both put in the work to get them to this point, and it paid off for them. When asked about the roping fees, Toon said, “you get a lot for your return. These are really, really good ropings.”

Again, these ropers can become the High Point roper by placing in the top 20 and accumulating points. The first place team gets 20 points each, the second place team gets 19 points, and so on. The more times and the higher the ropers place in the top 20, the better their chances are at being the High Point Roper.

Winning a total of 40 points, the High Point Roper of the 9.5 40 & Over was Brad Thrash.

“I love these over 40, 50 and 60 ropings because it lets us old guys have a chance,” Thrash said. That is what Jeff Smith and 3 Point Productions is about – giving everyone a chance.

Finishing out the day and the John Deere Specialty Ropings was the 8.5 50 & Over. This roping put $33,630 back in these ropers pockets:

1st: Marty Howard & Mike Colby, $11,410

2nd: Cam Schneider & Terry Kinderknecht, $7,740

3rd: Dale Morrison & Rick Anderson, $6,480

4th: Donnie Schneider & Mark Smith, $4,540

5th: Andy Asch & Terry Kinderknecht, $3,460

Fast Time: Donnie Schneider & Mark Smith, $400

Finishing off the day, Howard and Colby got a rewarding win for themselves. Some advice from the header, Colby said, “just get [the rope] on its horns. Howard’s advice for being a heeler said, “look the steer over real good and finish out the run.” Both ends did their part to bring home a win.

The final High Point Roper of the week was Terry Kinderknecht. He racked up a total of 35 points.

Kinderknecht said the key to success was just to catch. He appreciated the setup and said drawing good cattle is what it took to win. Something Jeff Smith and 3 Point Productions prides themselves in is bringing in good cattle.

We want to thank Purina Animal Nutrition for being the Official Feed Sponsor of the 2021 World Cup Finals. Purina has over 125 years of expertise, research and experience in feeding some of the most competitive horses in the rodeo world.
