Olivia Favero was crowned 2026 Miss Rodeo America December 7, 2026 at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

She grew up in Taylor Utah, working on her family farm, and always admired Miss Rodeo Utah as a role model and what she stands for. She says “Wearing the golden crown is a dream come true for me and something I have worked so hard toward for many years. I remind myself every day that the true joy of life is in the journey and if I can leave things a little better than when I got here, I did my job.” She will be using her platform “Enjoy the Ride” to mentor youth, give back, and serve others, as well as for her own personal development.

Olivia Favero was a former Miss Ogden Rodeo queen, and became the Miss Utah Rodeo queen in 2025.

The Miss Rodeo America organization and pageant competition exists for the purposes of selecting a young lady to serve as an official spokesperson for the sport of professional rodeo and providing educational opportunities for those young women who compete in the pageant. The last Miss Rodeo America from Utah was Chenae (Shiner) Vest, who won in 2013.
