Steve and Erin Stadelman moved to Ouray County in the Spring of 2007. Upon arrival, they both felt driven to become a part of the Rodeo Association. Erin joined in 2008 and was quickly placed on the Board as the Secretary. Steve soon joined the Board as a Member in 2009. They have been Board Members ever since. Steve has been a Director of the Association since 2012 and Erin has been Secretary, Treasurer and President of the Board since 2008..with a brief absence from 2019-2021. 

The Stadelman Ranch was established in Grand County in 1952. Steve & Erin took over the brand in 2010. Along with their 6 children and 8 grandchildren, they strive to exemplify the western way of life through their actions and involvements. Erin has served on the Board of the Ouray County Cattlemen’s Association, also. As a family, the Stadelman have “played” in the local Gymkhanas, Jr Rodeos, Ranch Rodeos, Team Penning Events and Mustang Shows. The kids have raised animals in the 4-H program and the family has been a part of the Ouray County Fair for over 15 years.

While working their hearts out for the Rodeo Association, Steve and Erin were integral to the driving forces behind the total transformation of the Ouray County Fairgrounds and Arena. In 2014, they successfully acquired the funding to build the wonderful arena, stockpens and roping gallery that you see now. A task completed with the entire’s families BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS.

The Stadelman Ranch is grateful for this wonderful recognition and they plan to continue to be a part of the Rodeo Association for some time to come.
