The last rodeo: Why this bucking stock contractor is hanging up her hat

1 min read

Kirsten Vold, a Colorado rancher, has spent years supplying bucking broncs and bulls to rodeos across the western United States. Her stock has been a staple in competitions that draw crowds and showcase the sport’s tradition.

Vold has announced that she will retire from the bucking stock business, effectively hanging up her hat. She plans to step away from the rodeo circuit and ride off into the sunset, marking the end of an era for the sport. The story was reported by the Colorado Sun.
