“We have an outdoor arena and a covered arena,” Beau continued. “We host ABBI events and several of our own events each year. We also lease our facilities to other folks for their events. We’ve got about 75 bulls and 75 cows. About 50 of the cows are mama cows. Last year we had 42 calves, and 28 of those were bulls.”

“I continually learn about the bulls and what they need to get them ready,” Beau revealed. “I’ve learned how to feed them, train them and flank them. Each bull is different. But these bulls are 1,600-to1,700-pound athletes. I believe that from the top performer to the least performer, they are all good. My job is to get the most out of every bull that I have.”

The Red Laces Cattle Company website says, “Since the inception of the PBR, the rodeo circuit has only grown in popularity as a lucrative investment opportunity. Following years of owning and breeding bulls, Red Laces Cattle Company has a well-rounded and insightful outlook on how to properly breed and raise pedigreed yearlings to reach their full potential.”

“That first year, out of my first calf crop, I took a yearling bull named High Hustler to an open yearling event in Duncan, Oklahoma,” Brad said. “He scored 92.6 points and won the event! I’m really proud of that!”

“Our bull Miller Time really put us on the map and moved us to a new level,” Beau revealed. “At the Cowtown Showdown on August 23, 2020 in Fort Worth, Miller Time broke the world record for two- year-old Futurity with a score of 95.2 points! We now co-own him with A&E Bucking Bulls.”

Another special bucking bull born and raised by Red Laces Cattle Company is Yellow Feather. He is currently owned by Oilfield Outlaws. “We house, train and haul Yellow Feather for them,” Beau shared. “He is making his debut in the PBR Unleash the Beast series in the 15/15 Bucking Battle in Del Rio, Texas this coming weekend. That’s really something special! He will also be going to Pecos on February 20 & 21, and then to Longview on February 27 & 28.”

“We’ve got a bull team for the PBR Velocity Tour,” Beau said. “Austin Patterson is my invaluable right-hand man. He takes the bull team to the Velocity Tour events. I take the young ones to their competitions and I’ll haul the bulls to the PBR Unleash the Beast events this year.”

Red Laces Cattle Company invites regular folks who are bull riding fans to take the next step and become a bull owner. The website says, “Invest in the experience of professional competition. This is professional bull raising. Buy into the lifestyle, sit back and enjoy the performance and the results.”

“We have partners from California to Florida, and everywhere in between,” Beau proudly claimed. “Baseball’s Taylor Hearn and Cody Allen both own bulls in our program. We also have a clothing line, and that has really helped to get our name out there as folks buy our merchandise and wear it where they live. Our partners love to come and watch their bulls buck in competitions!”

The Red Laces Cattle Company website sums it up quite well. “Breeding and raising a prizewinning bull is like any other great athlete, it begins with genetics. However, without the right accommodations, nutrition, and training, even the best born calf’s future in competition is compromised. At Red Laces Cattle Company, we put in the time and discipline needed to keep our stock healthy and on top of the game. Winners are born, but success is a choice.”

“I love this industry,” Beau declared. “I feel like this is what I’m supposed to be doing. If anyone wants an opportunity to own a bucking bull, please contact us. We can be reached at: 559-901-8195, or our website at www. redlacescattleco.com or by email at redlacescattleco@gmail.com.”

Dustin Boquet Claims San Antonio Xtreme Bulls Win

Winter Xtreme Bulls events have treated Dustin Bouquet well.

For the second year in a row, Boquet won an X Bulls competition in Texas, the latest coming Sunday when he captured the title at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Xtreme Bulls.

Boquet won the Division 1 Xtreme Bulls event in San Antonio with an 87-point ride on 4L & Diamond S Rodeo’s Ferdinand in the finals at the Freeman Coliseum.

“This feels great,” said Boquet, 27. “I’ve always wanted to win this bull riding. I’ve never done well at the San Antonio Xtreme Bulls. I always fell off and then did well at the rodeo. This year when I woke up (Sunday morning), I told myself that I was going to stay on some today at the bull riding and it worked out. I just kept telling myself to stay on them and let my ability take over and do what I know how to do.”

On Jan. 22, 2020, Boquet won his inaugural Division 1 Xtreme Bulls event with 175 points on two-head at the SWELS – Xtreme Bulls in Fort Worth, Texas, at Dickies Arena.

“It feels great to get a win like this again in the winter, especially with a bunch of stuff getting canceled (because of the COVID-19 pandemic) and you really don’t know what this year is going to hold,” Boquet said.

At San Antonio, Bouquet set his victory in motion with an 84.5-point ride on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Lonesome You in the long round, which qualified him for the eight-man finals.

Bouquet was quite familiar with Lonesome You. He won Round 6 at the 2020 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on that bull with an 89.5-point trip at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Dec. 8.

“He (Lonesome You) kind of surprised me going left like he did away from my hand,” Boquet said. “I just picked him right up and finished him off. It felt really good.”

In the finals, Boquet matched up with Ferdinand, the same bull Boudreaux Campbell was on when he won the X Bulls in San Antonio last year with an 89-point ride at the AT&T Center. Trevor Kastner had an 89.5-point ride on Ferdinand to win the final round and the average at the Dodge City (Kan.) Roundup Division 1 Xtreme Bulls event July 28. He left town with $9,458.

“I got on Ferdinand a few years ago in Fort Worth and he made pretty short work of me to be honest,” Boquet said. “I got a little measure of revenge. I was ready for him. When I saw my name against his, I tried to stay loose and cool and ride him jump for jump.”

Boquet earned $6,300 for his ride in the finals. He left town with $6,550 by placing sixth in the long round.

“When they clean slate the (finals) like this (in San Antonio) all you can do is stay on and let the good Lord put you where he wants you,” Boquet said.

Boquet was second in the Feb. 8 PRCA | RAM World Standings with $11,511 and might edge past leader Josh Frost. Boquet has qualified for the NFR twice (2018 and 2020).

Boquet joins Fletcher Jowers (Austin, Texas) as the two winners on the 2021 Division 1 X Bulls Tour.

“I just have to keep taking advantage of every opportunity that the good Lord puts in front of me,” Boquet said.
