In this episode, host Doug Simcox sits down with the legendary Randy Steffens, a rodeo veteran who now calls Hico, Texas, home. Randy’s journey began in Lake Forest, Illinois, as a bronc rider and bull dogger, but it’s his incredible career as a pickup man that took him to the heights of Professional Rodeo.
Randy shares captivating tales of his time with the Rafter M Rodeo Company, The Latting Rodeo Company and Steve Gander’s Legendary World’s Toughest Rodeo, where he earned his place at the International Finals Rodeo. Hear about his unforgettable experiences, including leading John Wayne’s horse Dollar, sharing meals with Festus from Gunsmoke, and rubbing elbows with Hoss from The Ponderosa. Randy also opens up about his friendship with the iconic rodeo cowboy, Larry Mahan.
