Personnel
We have an outstanding lineup for our rodeo this year!
Professional Rodeo Announcer - Ted Dwyer
Right from the arena, across the United States, up and down back roads, side roads, dirt roads, to rodeos in one-horse towns to indoor shows.
From getting throwed down, knocked down, mauled around, and just plain hanging around!
With almost 40 years experience in the sport of rodeo, starting with riding rough stock including bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riding.
In 1974 Ted turned to the baggy pants and the football cleats as a rodeo clown and bullfighter working about 35 shows per year for about 10 years. While working as a bullfighter in 1984 at a PRCA rodeo in Hill City, Kansas; a bull from the Dorenkamp Rodeo Co. called "Zorro", also known as Frontier Airlines, ended that career.
After that injury Ted worked on a few movie series, such as Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Little House on the Prairie, Father Murphy, Back to the Future III, and The Shadow Riders.
Ted's love for the sport of rodeo kept him involved, working for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association office in Colorado Springs, Colorado in the public relations department. Then Ted moved back to California.
In 1987 Ted got started announcing rodeos and now is announcing about 35 rodeos per year, for various stock contractors and rodeo committees around the country.
Ted has been "Western Region Announcer" of the year 8 times, and has been selected to be the announcer for the California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association 5 times as well as the Pacific Collegiate Hockey Association's Adams Cup Playoffs & Finals.
Dwyer hopes his work as a rodeo announcer helps give rodeo-goers a feeling for the way the Wild West was, while also blending in an understanding of the difficulties of the modern day cowboy. Dwyer wants people to leave the stands seeing the Cowboy for what he is -- the hero of the rodeo.
Happy Trails!

Roughstock - Rocking B Rodeo Co.
Rocking B Rodeo Company, owned and managed by Brady Burningham, is a testament to the American dream. In 2006, Brady, a high school graduate from Mapleton, UT, dared to pursue his passion and become a first generation stock contractor. What started with just 4 bucking horses bought from Nebraska has grown into a herd of over hundreds of ranch-raised horses, evidence to Brady's dedication and love for the sport of rodeo.
At Rocking B, excellence is non-negotiable. Every animal is specially cared for to ensure they are in peak condition, enabling them to look their best, feel their best, and ultimately perform their best. From PRCA Rodeos and Circuit Finals to college rodeos, highschool rodeos, and open rodeos, in 19 states across the western and central U.S., Rocking B Rodeo’s commitment extends beyond providing top-quality and award winning livestock; we aim to captivate audiences to celebrate the essence of rodeo. Whether it's the majestic bucking horses, the adrenaline-fueled bull riding, or even including fans in their own bull riding experience with Rocking B’s own gentle giants Geronimo and Opie, our one-ton Brahman Bulls, every moment promises thrills and excitement.
But Rocking B is more than just a rodeo company; it's a beacon of the western way of life. We invite everyone to share in our love and passion for this rich heritage, promising an unforgettable journey into the heart of the American West. So, saddle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride!
