Rempel's Are The Best!!

[Northern Rancher]

Gary and Wade are picking up in Calgary again-in the Jr. Steers a brahma cow jumped the fence in front of the main grandstand-They roped her from inside the arena so fast she never even had time to crap on the pavement. If they'd of missed it would of been wild-only about 20,000 spectators for her to run through.

Pick-up men are as important if not more so than even a great bullfighter. I have seen a bull jump a fence at a little rodeo and those guys chased him for 20 minutes. Luckily, nobody got hurt except the hood of a dodge colt! I also saw a pickup man become a bulldogger on a bad wreck bareback horse. Guy got hung and knocked out and he was on the fence side getting bounced off of every pipe post. The pickup man missed with a loop so he just dropped the rope and grabbed that bronc by the ear. When the bronc kept going he bailed off holding an ear and a lip. That horse shut down pretty quick and they got the rider cut loose. Good pickup men are worth a bunch! Glad nobody got hurt up to Calgary

Smooth describes the Rempel's they are so good at their job they make hard stuff look easy-I sure wish they were going to be in Farmington.

Ted Vayro had a pick-up man who was nick-named Perkins. At the Armstrong Pro Rodeo back in the late 70's one of the bulls bucked his rider off and jumped the gate at the end of the arena into the track infield. Ol' Perkins never wavered, he spurred Red over the gate right behind the bull, 2 swings and roped him before he could do any damage to the crowd of people. Perkins then drug the bull back into the arena to a standing ovation.
In the early 90's Perkins moved to this area for a few years and was one of my headers. He very rarely missed a steer and most of them were turned off about 10 feet past the score line. A heeler had one chance on the corner and then his handle got pretty wild. We made quite a few runs under 7 seconds.

Hey Dave you and H have more in common then you think.

You made 7 second roping runs and he made 7 second bull rides. :wink: :nod: :cowboy:

That made me laugh out loud, BMR!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Harold Jarrard was a legendary pickup man in Wyoming.
He's in the Cowboy Hall of Fame because he was so good.
Lots of times he'd be riding a horse that wasn't broke.
"Wasn't broke" to hiim could be called an outlaw by anyone else. :shock:

I remember the HS Rodeo kids that were scared and froze up
when it came time to get off. Harold would just reach down
and pick them right up. They said when he did that, "it looked
like the hand of God" reaching for them.

He was said to be the toughest man in Johnson County.
He was from Kaycee, and he was tough. Far as I know, he's
still alive.

 

[Northern Rancher]

Well if your the toughest man from Kaycee your [probably at least half tough.

My grandfather was a pick-up man back in the day, and knew the Rempel family well, as I understand it. I think they were from the same area, but not sure. My grandfather was known as an excellent pick-up man, but also had a penchant for broncy horses. One old bronc rider who had had Granpa pick him up many times told me with a twinkle in his eye that "You were just as likely to get bucked off the pick-up horse as the bronc when he was picking up!" :lol:

Tam and my daughter rode in a drill team. At the end when they were leaving the arena Britt would pull up on the back of her saddle and old Spook would kick out. One old fellow commented that he bucked harder then some of the broncs.
