History
[td]The festival has its origins in the transfer of cattle from pasturing in the nearby states of [[Minas Gerais]], [[GoiΓ‘s]], [[Mato Grosso do Sul]], and [[Mato Grosso]] to slaughterhouses in Barretos. The cowboys in the "entourages" that led the herds would meet in the afternoons and compete with each other to see who could ride the most spirited horses - the precursor to today's competition. The more difficult tradition of riding [[bucking bull|bull]]s instead of [[bucking horse|horse]]s was brought from the United States.[/td] [td][/td]
[td][/td] [td]In 1955, in [[Barretos]], a group of [[bachelor]]s organized the first recorded [[Festa do PeΓ£o de Boiadeiro]]. Since that time, the festival has become world-famous for its scale, and the high quality of [[cowboy]]s, [[cowboy#Cowgirls|cowgirl]]s, horses and bulls. The festival takes place every August, coinciding with the anniversary of the founding of Barretos, August 25. It continues to be organized by The Independents.[/td]
