Miss Rodeo America Recognizes Brooke Rollins
Miss Rodeo America Olivia Favero recently returned to Washington, D.C., where she acknowledged U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins for her dedication and support of the rodeo industry.
During her visit, Favero presented Rollins with a pair of Montana Silversmiths earrings as part of her monthly recognition initiative, The Montana Silversmiths Moment of the Month. This program allows Favero to highlight individuals who have made meaningful contributions to the western community. For this month, she chose Rollins, recognizing her engagement within the rodeo industry throughout 2026.
Rollins, as the United States Secretary of Agriculture, oversees programs related to agriculture, rural development, conservation, and policies affecting farmers and ranchers nationwide. Her role is directly connected to many agricultural communities represented in professional rodeo, where ranching traditions thrive.
This meeting showcased Favero's ability to connect her role as Miss Rodeo America with individuals involved in both agriculture and western advocacy. A native of Taylor, Utah, Favero was crowned Miss Rodeo America in December 2025 after representing Utah. Her background includes horsemanship, agricultural involvement, and studies in communication, public relations, and advertising.
Throughout her reign, Favero has traveled the country representing the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association at rodeos, community events, educational programs, and industry gatherings. She educates audiences about professional rodeo and its agricultural roots.
The recognition of Rollins highlights this connection between rodeo royalty and national officials working within agricultural communities across America.
Favero expressed her gratitude through a social media announcement, thanking the secretary for her continued support and presenting the jewelry as a personal token of appreciation. This moment showcased how rodeo royalty can honor individuals beyond the competition arena while preserving links to agriculture and western heritage.
