I hope it's okay to put this here as a discussion. I just wanted to brag a little about my little cousin. He is a rookie bull rider in the PRCA and he is sitting #6 in the world heading into this weekend's finals. We are super proud of him. If you happen to watch any of the finals check him out. Jeter Lawrence. He got bucked off his first round bull yesterday.

This is his bio and money winnings.

Dam $216K plus in earnings at age 19. that is pretty damn impressive

I am still hurting from racing Motocross when I was younger. Riding bulls has to be much worse and harder on your body.
He is already building up a pretty good resume and record. All that money may not go far in a hospital though. Hope he does good and stays safe.

Thanks guys. He went from bucking off the first night to winning the second go round on an unridden bull.

Oh and towards the end of the year the only thing he has spent money on was a new dually. He really is my cousin. LOL

Way cool! I grew up out West and attended many. It was every day life for a lot of people in our area. I've met Ty and Tuff, love what they did for the sport. A lot of similarities to chasing points in NHRA sportsman racing back in the day. I remember being on the road and hearing Lane Frost was killed.

Rock on!

You should be proud Curtis. Billet Balls! Good friend ( Ethan , he was on DRR for a bit) ) and a drag racer now a sprint car racer road bulls when he was young. Crazy!

That is great - Congratulations to him.

I was always a fan of Tuff and Ty.

When I was still a kid I thought I wanted to ride bulls. Always had family that rodeoed and we were members of the round up club. Roped goats and such. Found out I didn’t really want to be a bull rider. LOL No matter how well it went it almost always hurt.

After round 3. He's certainly got a shot if he rides.

World standings

1. Josh Frost, $259,641

2. T.J. Gray, $254,844

3. Clayton Sellars, $252,140

4. Jace Trosclair, $251,219

5. Jeter Lawrence, $250,908

Good for him! Wow talk about a ride!

More of a Man than I'll ever be. Congratulations!

Well he got another one rode last night. He was 84.5 on a bull I thought he should have been 87 on but he made it look so easy they didn't score what they should have.

They have had some rank bulls at this finals. 2 out of 6 ridden so far for Jeter but one of the other rookies has covered 4. Both rookies battling it out are from Oklahoma, which is cool to me. Go round #7 tonight showing on the Cowboy channel if you have Dish.

Is he here at the NFR? Best event in this city as far as polite and respectful group of people

Al, he is. Won the second go round and placed 6th last night. 4 more go rounds. We are really proud of him.


Here is kind of a long story about that part of my family.

Jeter is the younger of 2 sons of my first cousin. His older brother was probably going to be just as good of a rider or better than Jeter is. Cash was his name. Their grandparents, my aunt and uncle have 101 acres a few miles from me. Cash was at their place one afternoon and saddled up his horse to take a ride on their place. It has lots of hills, trees and creek beds. He didn't come back that evening but his horse did. Everyone went out looking for him and he was found later that night but didn't survive. We still have no actual idea of what caused him to be thrown or fall off or whatever happened. I truly believe that Jeter rides for his brother every time he ties on.

I know nothing about this subject except that Jerome Davis provides bulls for these things and they sometimes stay in a pasture right near me. Sure look pretty docile while here relaxing. Good luck to this young man

Some of the best bucking bulls out there Fern.

Very cool/ Back in the 90's I had an employee whos sons was a PBRA rider. He was never great but held his own and it was great to see a young man chasing his dream.
