Benje Bendele, our rodeo's sound man, is the preeminent sound and effects producer in Pro Rodeo, and there is a good reason why. Benje has made this his life. If it happens in the arena, the speakers will rumble with a complementary sound. Whether it's the perfect musical transition or just the right sound effect, Benje has a way of making the ordinary extraordinary. Really, it's just a testament to his passion and understanding of rodeo. 

This year's rodeo is again being produced by Andrew's Rodeo Company of Addielou, Texas, promises to be greater than ever with an excellent lineup of contestants, specialty acts, bull fighters, and stock. Andrew's Rodeo Company has become quite popular with the rodeo associations and cowboys, providing stock for a three-night plus slack rodeo. Andrew’s ability to produce quality stock is well noted with 1999 Hall of Fame Bucking Bull, BODACIOUS, with 135 outs and only 8 qualified rides.

Nathan grew up in Tuttle, Oklahoma. He wasn’t brought up in a rodeo family, but since he can remember he has always had a love for rodeo. At the age of 16 he started to pursue his love for rodeo through bullfighting. After high school he put all of his effort into his career and before long found success in the freestyle bullfights. In 2011 he won the Rex Dunn World Championship Freestyle Bullfights and is a 2x California Rodeo Salinas Champion.

Growing up in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Cody roped most of the year while in high school, but he really wanted to be a bullfighter. A magazine ad for a three-day bullfighting school helped make it happen. “Once you do it a few times, you’re hooked,” Cody said of his experience at the school in 2007. “You’ve got the adrenaline rush in you, and you can’t stop doing it.”
