  • Tough Bucking for the Busiest Woman on the Rodeo Circuit by Lee Allen
    MEDIA CONTACTS: Perse Hooper, [email protected], 858-337-6404 Donna Hoyt, [email protected], 406-338-7684 Website: www.infr.org Tough Bucking for the Busiest Woman on the Rodeo Circuit by Lee Allen Charmaine “Bull Girl” Brannan, Chukchansi tribe, feeds her livestock in Lewiston, Montana. She is the only female livestock provider for the Indian National Finals Rodeo. Charmaine “Bull Girl” Brannan ranks at the top of her field -- she’s the only female livestock provider for the Indian National Finals Rodeo. “I’m insanely busy, the busiest woman in this business, ” she told ICTMN. At 5’4” tall, she often gets lost in the shadow of the 2,000-pound bulls she raises for rodeo. “I’ve been told that God protects children and fools, and I’m no longer a kid,” she said. “But a lot of things rely on me to stay healthy, and if I don’t show up with a hay bale, even in the middle of a Montana snowstorm, the livestock don’t eat that night. “I wouldn’t call my bulls ‘pets’ in the domestic sense of the word, but they’re like family to me; and they’ll live out their life with me. I feed my livestock every day by hand and I’m alone with them a lot of the time, so I talk to them frequently because they’re good company. I can find solace and a feeling of serenity when I’m with them. ” Brannan, a member of the Chukchansi tribe, was raised in a tiny California town and grew up in a 100-year-old cabin where her logging family was no stranger to hard work.

  • Stock Contractors
    STOCK CONTRACTORS Bar T Rodeo’s Fancy Pants, looking 100 percent focused just before bucking off his Round 9 cowboy, was named top saddle bronc of the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, capping a Kerby-Flitton family celebration that started at the PRCA Awards Banquet Nov. 30 when Bar T won the 2011 Remuda Award for providing the best pen of bucking horses at PRCA rodeos. PRCA ProRodeo photo by Greg Westfall Stock Contractors Working behind the scenes from long before the rodeo begins until the last animal is loaded up, stock contractors may be the most overlooked people in rodeo production. While cowboys get most of the recognition, the livestock at PRCA rodeos plays a vital role in the success of the contestants. In roughstock events, the cowboy’s riding ability produces half the score and the animals’ ability to buck powerfully and skillfully earns the other half. For the timed events, stock contractors work to provide cattle of similar size for each event, so that cowboys are tested on their own skills – on a level playing field. The stock contractors’ primary goal is to ensure that the four-legged athletes of professional rodeo are healthy, well-fed, properly cared for and fit to perform. This job includes tasks familiar to all ranchers: breeding livestock with the desired characteristics, loading and transporting animals safely, providing veterinary care and supervising handling. Rodeo stock contractors also have sport-specific jobs, including working behind the chutes to ensure safety for both people and animals, caring for animals during the rodeo itself – even handling public relations for the sport’s animal superstars.

  • January 2010 American Cowboy Magazine
    78 February/March 2010 AmericanCowboy.com Harry Vold Taking Stock The land of opportunity lured Canadian auctioneer and rodeo stock contractor Harry Vold to make a name for himself south of the border 40 years ago. Today, Vold is a recent inductee into the National Cowboy Rodeo Hall of Fame and a recipient of a ProRodeo Legend Award. America has been good to the man known as the Duke of the Chutes. By Tracey Feist Photography by Carmel Zucker AmericanCowboy.com February/March 2010 79 he walls in Harry Vold’s trophy room are filled with photos of the world’s best cowboys who’ve ridden his bucking horses to eight seconds: Jim Shoulders, Casey Tibbs, Larry T Mahan, and Ty Murray among them. Leather halters from world champion horses, identified by the Bar HV brand, hang prominently above those glossy 8x10s. Sterling silver trophy buckles are displayed under glass in a custom-made wagon wheel bar table. And news- paper articles, weathered by time, tell the tale of the 86-year-old rodeo legend who is Harry Vold: auctioneer, Wild West show performer, rodeo promoter, and eleven-time recipient of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association (PRCA) Stock Contractor of the Year award, the most of anyone in the history of North American rodeo. His daughter Kirsten sums up the black. It’s acts of solidarity like these that as a stock contractor. In 1959, he was hardware best: “I would hate to even have made him a central force in rodeo awarded one of the livestock contracts for guess how many [awards] there are.” Per- for 60 years, revolutionizing the industry the first National Finals Rodeo (NFR), haps his most recent honor, an October of stock contracting in the process.
