A roping competition is being planned for next month, with proceeds to benefit the ranchers who were affected by a fire that burned more than 52,000 acres in Big Horn County.

According to InciWeb, the Sarpy Fire began on September 2 about 20 miles east of Hardin, south of Sarpy Road. The fire burned on both the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Reservations, according to the incident report.

A benefit to support the ranchers impacted by the Sarpy Fire is set for Sunday, October 18 in Tullock Creek, Montana.

'Rachers Relief Range Roping' will be held on the Noyes Ranch, located about 15.5 miles east of Hardin on Highway 384. The event will begin at 11am, with a $5 admission at the gate. Spectators are invited to bring their own chairs, with concessions available on-site during the activities.
