If we learned anything in Round 1 of the 2025 NFR, it’s that you all love Cory Kidd’s NFR steer notes.
So we’re right back with them in Round 2, in a pen that he says the top 15 are going to love.
| TEAM | STEER NUMBER | NOTES |
| Luke Brown / Trey Yates | 31 | Medium, they hazed him a lil in run throughs so may step left. |
| Riley Minor / Brady Minor | 35 | Medium, wants to be real straight which leads to fast runs in middle of arena. |
| Jake Smith / Douglas Rich | 33 | Average steer, no one ever really got good start at him on run throughs. |
| Dawson Graham / Dillon Graham | 38 | Middle of herd. |
| Tyler Wade / Wesley Thorp | 54 | Medium speed. They turned him on down the arena. Wanted to handle lil funky but good start solves all that. |
| Cyle Denison / Lane Mitchell | 36 | Leaves good, lets you get a start and straight. Expect this steer to win a lot. |
| Andrew Ward / Jake Long | 41 | Lil bit stronger steer. Middle of arena but should let you go at him. No tricks. |
| Clay Smith / Coleby Payne | 23 | Good steer, he’s a round chance. |
| Dustin Egusquiza / Levi Lord | 22 | Medium steer. |
| Clint Summers / Jade Corkill | 46 | Just average steer. |
| Derrick Begay / Colter Todd | 21 | Goody. Medium, wants to post up. Should win a lot on him. |
| Tanner Tomlinson / Travis Graves | 3 | This steer eluded a couple of best headers in the run throughs. Once we got him turned (Lane) Mitchell gave him the full pull. Should be good steer. |
| Kaleb Driggers / Junior Nogueira | 59 | Put your favorite shirt on, you’re headed to South Point. |
| Lightning Aguilera / Kaden Profili | 20 | Paint, looks amazing but there’s more steer there. They bust his bubble he will be good. |
| Kolton Schmidt / Jonathan Torres | 34 | Medium but he’s pretty. They gonna win a lot on him. |
