Bailee Mackey
Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2024
“In wyoming the beauty of our mountains is matched by the grit of our people.” On August 17, 2023, at the Wyoming State Fair, Bailee got to see a glimpse of Wyoming beauty and her life was changed forever. She was blessed to have the jade and gold crown placed on her cowboy hat when she was crowned Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2024. This year, she will encounter rodeo committees, stock contractors, rodeo fans, communities, and sponsors. She will work hard to represent the state of Wyoming and our western traditions and make each of you proud with every mile she travels and every person she meets.
Bailee Mackey is the 24-year-old daughter of Payton and Marlene Mackey; a fifth-generation rancher from Evanston attending online at Utah State University pursuing a degree in Equine Science and Management specializing in equine nutrition and chiropractics. She enjoys riding horses on her family ranch, working cattle, expressing her love for trucks, snowmobiles in the cold, dirt bikes in the summer, and tweaking motors in her spare time; along with competing in the Intermountain reining horse association, helping the University’s Equestrian team, and is excited to represent the state as Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2024.
Bailee would like to share her platform “Find Your White Buffalo” throughout her travels. As she encourages others to pursue their dreams no matter the journey that lies ahead. Go Pokes!
