White Deer, Texas is a thriving community located on US 60 between Amarillo and Pampa. I came here twice to mainly document the UPRA-sanctioned rodeos held each year that drew sellout crowds.
The rodeos are held during the annual Kickback Days celebration so I returned to document the other activities that go on each year as you can watch below.
The 2021 celebration kicked off with the annual parade.
Kickback Day Parade
The afternoon filled the city park with people, music, conversation, reunions, games, food, and wares.

Then there were the rodeo activities with examples below ranking from least to most viewed of all the Kick Back Rodeo events.

I returned to White Deer on July 26, 2024 early enough to document the mutton bustin' and calf riding events held before the main UPRA-sanctioned pro-rodeo. You can watch all published events listed on this page without being directed to YouTube or Rumble. You can also pop it out and give the video a thumbs up and add comments on each respective platform. Your feedback is much appreciated!
I want to return to White Deer in conjunction with cotton and meat production stories in the future. If you have any more leads please Contact Us.
