Jerold Camarillo

I sat down with rodeo legend Jerold Camarillo to dig into the rich history of team roping—tracing its roots back to California and following its rise into the heart of modern rodeo. Jerold made the National Finals Rodeo an incredible 17 times and was crowned a world champion in 1969, and he brings that experience to life with stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

From the evolution of roping techniques to the growth of the sport and the cowboys who built it, Jerold shares a firsthand look at how things have changed—and what’s stayed the same. We talk about the camaraderie, the grit, and the culture that defined his generation, along with lessons that still matter for ropers coming up today.
