ing broncs, Tiump-shouldcrcd bulls
and Ughtening-swift calves come
from to provide the basis for all
the thrills associated with a rodeo?
In The, Business
Probably little known is the fact
that a few persons are in the busi
ness of providing "bucking stock"
for just this kind of event.
One of the best producers, ac
cording to those in the rodeo busi
ness, is Ray Kohrs of Trcs Pinos
in San Benito County, Calif. Kohrs,
on his back country ranch prop
erty near Tres Pinos, has a strange
assortment nf horses and bulls
grazing along with their more us-;
tial-appcaring kindred. These arC

for June 15 and 16 at the Fair-1
grounds. Kohrs was the contractor;
for last year's rodeo stock, also. I

last year's rodeo, will be back

Animals Starred
Kohrs is known as one of the
only rodeo producers to use home
raised stock. The TV program
"You Asked For It," spent several
days at his ranch filming the fea
ture "Where Rodeo Stars Are
Born," which has been re-shown
numerous times in the past couple
of vears. This .documentary film
goes through the different age
stages of both luJrses and bulls
from the time Ihey are born urilil
they reach the rodeo arena. Kohrs
reportedly always keeps his buck
ing slock in top shape operating
under the theory that "no rodeo
is better than ils bucking stock."
This stock has appeared at nu
merous rodeos in California, Ore
gon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Tex
as, Colorado and New Mexico. It
is quartered in winter months on
the ranch at Tres Pinos. 35 miles
east of Salinas, while other ranch
property at Merced provides ad
ditional summer range for the
stock.
