The Canadian Cowboys Association is pulling its rodeo out of the Canadian Western Agribition after this year.
The association is moving the finals to Swift Current in 2016.
Shylo Claypool, the association's president, says it's about dollars and cents.
He says being the feature act in Swift Current will give them a chance to expand the event.
Claypool says it will also allow them to have youth more involved, and they hope it will translate into more money coming in.
He says it was a tough decision, but while the ten-year relationship with Agribition has been a good one, change is also good.
Agribition CEO Marty Seymour says they were surprised by the decision.
Seymour says rodeo is one of Agribition's signature events, so there will still be rodeo at the show.
"There's been lots of interest now that the word is out — people contacting us wanting to fill that space with some type of rodeo-type activity."
