The music set the tone and atmosphere at Bad Company Rodeos. We had both kinds - Country and Western, along with Pop, Blues, Disco, at least one Rap song and of course Rock 'n Roll. We created a playlist that you can enjoy. The Spotify link is in our bio. #BCRBackstage

After Midnight was 3x NFR Bareback Riding horse. This photo from Sonora was also used on a t-shirt featuring Chad Ruddy on the black stud from C-T Rodeo & Charlie Thompson. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)

Skoals Hammer Time was selected to the NFR 6x (1999-2004) and a Top 3 PRCA Bucking Bull along with a Texas Circuit Bull of the Year. Here he is at the Texas Circuit Finals in Waco, TX. @jenningsrodeophotography

Another superstar bucking bull was ZZ Budlight, 2x NFR (1993-94). He was a bounty bull at Bad Company Rodeos and his poster was used in the marketing campaigns. This one is hanging in the home of #JeromeDavis who drew him in the 1st RD of the '94 NFR (scored 78). #BCRBackstage

A simple marketing tool to promote the Tours and events was 2 1/4 inch round paper label sticker. With an average of 10,000 ordered per event, it is safe to say a couple million or more of these have been handed out over the years. #BCRbackstage

Bad Company Rodeo would like to extend a congratulations to all of the NIRA Student Athletes that qualified to the CNFR. Mack Altizer served as the NIRA Student President and competed at the event for @sulrossrodeo and Howard College.

Half of the original Dirty Dozen just hanging out in the pens. All of them were selected to the NFR. L-R - Strokin, Wild Thing, Superstitious, Bad to the Bone, The Jam, Crockadile Rock. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)

A throwback to when the committee at Parker County Sherrifs Posse Rodeo in Weatherford, TX wanted to play cowboy poker. (Luckily) no committee members were harmed, but bullfighter Mark Callihan took a hard shot to the back. #ExpectTheUnexpected

An effective marketing tool, prior to social media, was partnering with local newspapers to insert special tabloid sections to promote the local events. This example from the Survivor Tour in 1991 promoted the Matagorda County Fair in Bay City, TX. #BCRBackstage

Mack loves a good party. Here he is with World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider, Monty "Hawkeye" Henson, Mitt Lloyd, Dookie Bland and Olie Smith jamming and having a sing along.

Sensation, a 6x NFR Saddle Bronc horse (87-89, 92-94), showed out in 1994 at Houston in one of photographer David Jennings favorite photos.

On this special weekend, we humbly tip our hats to all of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Vicki Taylor presented Old Glory during the Outlaw ProRodeo in Sonora, TX and many Bad Company Rodeo events. (photo-Jennings Rodeo Photography) #MemorialDay

In 1991, Honky Tonk Man was selected in the Saddle Bronc Riding for the NFR. Pete Fox had a front row view as #170 won this match up at the Walker County Fair & Rodeo in Huntsville, TX. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)

Not only was Mack an accomplished competitor, but he was very handy as a Pick Up Man also. Here he is assisting Jesse Bail following a ride at the Da'le Gas Pro Rodeo in Del Rio. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)

This autograph session in Bowie, TX was one of thousands held over the years. Mack, #CharlieThrockmorton, #MilesHare, #jenningsrodeophotography, David & Phillip Fournier are picture with the store owners. #BCRBackstage

Cadillac was selected to the NFR in 1993. Here he is matched up with Royd Doyal, a Bad Company sponsored cowboy, in 1994. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)

The "Bad To The Bone" cowboy skull was originally designed by Arnold Felts, 1981 World Champion Steer Roper. This throwback is part of the 2025 collection of Bad Company Rodeo Merchandise. Once shipments start this fall to stores we will let you know where to get yours. #hooey

The Music! Many people think it was just rock 'n roll that was played at Bad Company Rodeo events. But the music crossed genres and styles to create fun party atmosphere. Here's a sample stocklist from 2014. #BCRBackstage

Rockin Robin was selected to the 1991 NFR in the Bareback Riding. This photo is of her and Roger Lacasse in Cheyenne. (photo - Jennings Rodeo Photography)
