RODEO STOCK CONTRACTOR NEWS "Walt Alasbaugh Inducted into Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City" Walter Alsbaugh (1918-1992), Colorado, entered his first rodeo at age 13 and won the calf roping. He competed in all events except bareback riding and was one of the first men to ride bucking horses “Midnight” and “Five Minutes to Midnight.” He was the first bull rider to use a braided handhold in his bull rope. The Walt Alsbaugh Rodeo Company began when he purchased three professional stock contracting companies and produced his first rodeo in 1953. He was the first contractor for the 101 Ranch Rodeos, which he produced until 1990. He took stock to every National Finals Rodeo except 1959, until the company sold in 1994. Always searching for new talent, he was instrumental in helping new specialty acts and bull fighters get their start. He was named the 1981 International Rodeo Fans Man of the Year, 1986 PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year and was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1990.

As well as announcing the two-day Laughlin Xtreme Bulls, it was Corley’s job to explain the Tough Enough to Fly Pink fundraiser.
