Born in 1941 at Brownwood, Texas, Ronnye Sewalt proved to be a consistent competitor during the 1960s and 1970s. Although he never captured an event championship like his father (Royce Sewalt, calf roping, 1946), he did break a number of venue records during his arena career.
That Ronnye Sewalt performed with consistency in calf roping is attested to by the fact that he was among the top 15 contenders in the event for 16 years between 1961 and 1978, finishing at the National Finals Rodeo ranked fifth or better six times. He also placed in the all around six times at the NFR. He was one of only six left-handed ropers ever to qualify.
Ronnye Sewalt died in 1994.
