Double
S Bull Company is owned and operated by Shad and Vicki Smith,
Sidney
,
Iowa
. Shad has taken everything he learned from his dad growing up
on a livestock farm near
Sidney
and his love of the sport of bullriding and created one of the
most sought after stock contracting companies in the
Midwest
while the award winning Extreme Bullriding Tour continues each
year to bring great entertainment to fairs and festivals.
Shad
began riding bulls in high school rodeo where he excelled
quickly. At 18 he joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association (PRCA) and qualified for the Great Lakes Circuit
Finals in his permit year. At the age of 19, he
produced his first of many bull ridings. After 16 years in the
business, Double S Bull Company has supplied stock to over 800
bull ridings and rodeos in fifteen different states from high
school rodeos to the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Built Ford
Tough Series events.
Shad
is a charter member of two of the first bullriding
associations ever formed to sanction solely bull riding
events. The members of these associations have voted Double S
Bull Company the Stock Contractor of the Year eight times.
Double S Bull Company bulls have also won numerous Bull of the
Year and other awards in these associations. Shad has been
elected to serve on the board of directors since 1997 and
continues to be an active member of both associations.
When
Vicki met Shad she not only fell for Shad but for bull riding.
She has become a valuable partner who is not afraid of the
hard work necessary to be an award winning stock contractor.
She helps with the secretarial work as well as the daily
chores taking care of the bulls. The couple is the proud
parents of Cash, Paige and Cade.
Even at his young age Cash already enjoys working at
his father’s side and is often seen with him at events.
The
goal of Double S Bull Company has always been to produce the
rankest bulls and the most exciting bull riding events the
Midwest
has to offer. The Extreme Bullriding Tour is one of the
most respected and award winning tours in the
Midwest
winning 28 gold buckles. The bulls in the “Attack
Pack” have won 31 gold buckles including 6 times Bull of the
Year; 4 times Bull of the Finals; and 21 go-round-winners at
finals including the prestigious PBR World Finals. Shad and
Vicki will continue to strive to produce rank bulls and exciting
‘gold buckle’ family entertainment. |
