Reader input: Time to put rodeo out to pasture
Re: "Folsom Pro Rodeo says animal welfare a top priority" (Folsom Telegraph, June 28, page A1):. How many animals must suffer and die before rodeo is put out to pasture?. Countless animals have paid with their lives to satisfy people’s desire to play cowboy.

Animals have suffered broken backs and necks, heart attacks and aneurysms.

Cali Live '24: What We Learned
We evaluated games at each hour for each of the three days of the 168-team Cali Live 24 and these are the most prominent things we took away from the three-day event. The 168-team Boys Cali Live '24 June Scholastic Live Period event in Roseville, Calif. concluded on Sunday with first place pool finishers playing another first place finisher in a de-facto championship game. There were 42 pools in all and many standouts across the board. There were tons of players to evaluate, and Cali Live '24 helped many in their recruitment during a scholastic setting.
