Contract Personnel


Beutler & Son Rodeo Co. - stock contractor

The Beutler name has been part of professional rodeo for decades, from the onset of Beutler Brothers Rodeo Co. to its recent collaboration of Beutler & Son Rodeo Co.

Bennie Beutler and son Rhett have joined together to carry on the family business that began in 1929 when brothers Elra, Jake, and Lynn Beutler began providing stock to rodeos. Jake and Lynn kept the sibling business running in a similar form, but Elra eventually teamed with son Jiggs to form the original Beutler & Son.

Bennie worked with his father, Jiggs and grandfather in the family business. After his elders' deaths in the 1980's, Bennie joined forces with E.K. Gaylord II to form Beutler & Gaylord Rodeo Co. That partnership continued for a dozen years, having won the PRCA's stock contractor of the year title in 1997 and having numerous horses and bulls named roughstock animals of the year.

In 2001, Bennie and Rhett began a partnership that should maintain the family tradition when the reclaimed the firm's original name, Beutler & Son. From the ranch north of Elk City, Oklahoma, it seems the Beutlers will continue to be part of rodeo's folklore.
