Patrick Smith

The 2010 World Champion Heeler is none other than Patrick Smith. Being a world champion is not a new experience for Patrick, as he was also the champion of the world in heeling in 2005.

When Patrick approached us prior to the 2010 Wrangler National Finals in Las Vegas, asking us to provide him with all his practice cattle, we were honored. Patrick could have gone anywhere to get his cattle, and yet he asked us for our cattle. We knew that Patrick was working towards earning another world championship with his header, Trevor Brazile. We also knew that he would need premium cattle to practice on if he were to achieve such honors.

While it came down to the 10th and final round of the team roping, Patrick and Trevor found themselves once again on top, a view that both know well. FSR Cattle Company LLC would like to congratulate Patrick on a remarkable job both in the roping arena and in life. He wears a gold buckle, speaks softly, practices hard, and is a wonderful family man. We are truly honored that Patrick has chosen us to continue to provide him with all his roping cattle.

Clay O'Brien Cooper

Clay Cooper has enjoyed a thirty-year career in professional rodeo during which he has earned 7 World Championship titles. With over two million dollars in career earnings, Clay remains in the top ten of the PRCA Career Earnings Leaders. Clay has won every major event in team roping and is considered by most to be the greatest heeler of all time. Clay was inducted to Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1997 and is a model and inspiration for thousands of ropers.

With credentials like these, it is no wonder that FSR Cattle Company LLC is proud and honored that Clay has chosen us to provide him with all of his roping cattle.

Ryan Motes

Ryan Motes needs little introduction. If you have watched the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Bob Feist Invitational, been to a Pro Rodeo or major roping event, you have seen Ryan Motes rope and win on the heel side. Not only has Ryan competed at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Bob Feist Invitational, but he has won WNFR go rounds and is the 2009 Bob Feist Invitational Team Roping Champion.

Ryan makes his living both roping and training high-end rope horses. Like any business, a person needs quality tools. Quality roping cattle are a must have for his business. Whether he is training himself to be a better roper and competitor, training his horses or his students, Ryan needs cattle that perform to his needs. That is why Ryan ropes FSR Cattle Company LLC cattle.

Like any roper, Ryan prefers to spend his time in the arena roping, not looking for cattle to buy, breaking cattle in, and hauling roped out cattle to the sale barn to be sold at a fraction of the purchase price. That is why Ryan leases his cattle from FSR Cattle Company LLC. He simply makes a phone call, places his order and picks up just the cattle he needs. It’s that easy.

Clay Tryan

If you keep up with World Champions, you know that Clay Tryan is a name on that list. In 2005, Clay was named World Champion Header while roping with Patrick Smith. That same year, Clay and Patrick set a new Wrangler National Finals Rodeo record and tied the PRCA world record roping a steer in 3.5 in the 9th round of the WNFR.

If being a champion of the world isn’t impressive enough, Clay has also won the prestigious Bob Feist Invitational roping not once, but twice! Clay’s first victory at the BFI came in 2005 while heading for Patrick Smith. Clay then came back and won it yet again in 2008 roping for World Champion Walt Woodard.

Clay obviously has an incredible talent in the roping arena. Natural ability certainly plays a huge role in his success. However, natural ability alone is not enough to carry him to the pay window like he has done. Clay practices hard and wisely. He knows the need for quality practice and knows that this practice needs to be done on the highest quality of roping cattle. Clay has chosen FSR Cattle Company to provide him with all his practice cattle. We look forward to seeing Clay put another successful year down in the record books.
