When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

STEPHENVILLE, Texas - Award winning PRCA Rodeo Doug Mathis is once again calling all the action at the 2026 Cowboy Capital of the World PRCA Rodeo on September 24, 25, and 26 at the Priefert Cowboy Capital Fairgrounds Arena . Doug lives and breathes rodeo. He loves the rodeo fans and feels blessed to call ALL the action as the world’s best professional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls compete on the final weekend of the professional rodeo season. With every call out of a name with a time or a score, Doug knows the weight of his words. He is precise, exciting, and keeps fans on the edge of their seats! Doug has announced Stephenville’s Pro Rodeo for nearly the last 10 years and it’s very easy to see (and hear) that this rodeo is more than just another “gig.” Stephenville is very special to Doug as this is where he and his family calls home. When he’s not in the announcers stand during Rodeo Week, you will find Doug watching the parade or the mutton bustin with his grandson or one of the other events, happily enjoying all the festivities with his family…just like you.
Our rodeo committee LOVES YA Doug Mathis- PRCA Rodeo Announcer and we are so proud to have you on our team this September. Let’s RODEO STEPHENVILLE!
