I thought this bull was going to twist to the right and give me a great shot, but it twisted left and gave me this shot of Wayne (not Harry) Vold the stock contractor for the Parada del Sol this year. [edit] thanks to rtmd30 for pointing out that this is Wayne Vold, Harry's son. Harry was born in 1924 and looks a little older than this. My bad. ]

The Stock Contractor is a vital ingredient of every great rodeo. "Taking good care of these animals is his life, not just his livelihood. . . there are three primary elements to caring for rodeo stock: safe transportation, careful observation, and welfare at rodeos. . . . {John Growney - a stock contractor says} . . ."we treat our animals like we want to be treated". 2009 PRCA ProRodeo Official Program

The Parada del Sol Rodeo is held annually in the Equidome at Westworld in Scottsdale. The 56th Annual Parada del Sol Rodeo was a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association ( PRCA ) Sanctioned Rodeo. Each performance consisted of bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling and bull riding.

The Stock Broker by David Frey
. . ."Vold's company is the stuff of rodeo lore and the life's work of her father, Harry Vold, who started in the rodeo business in 1941 as a teenager in his native Canada. At the urging of cowboy actor Gene Autry, who was also in the rodeo stock business, he moved his operation to Colorado, the center of the rodeo world. Since then, it's become one of the biggest and most respected in the industry, raising some of rodeo's greatest bucking horses.

The company has supplied livestock for shows across the country, including the giant Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming, known in the rodeo world as "the Daddy of 'em All," and to every National Finals Rodeo since it began in 1959. In a business where deals are often sealed with nothing more than a handshake, Harry Vold has earned the respect of rodeo organizers across the West, and the nickname "the Duke of the Chutes."

When he decided it was time to pass on management of his namesake company, he turned to his daughter, Kirsten, then just 25, but with a lifetime in the chutes. A director of a Pueblo, Colo.-based bank, Harry Vold says he'd seen plenty of women take on management roles in the business world, so why not the rodeo world?

"It hasn't always been easy for her," says Harry Vold, who at 79 still takes an active role in his company and inspects his horses in white cowboy hat, black boots and fancy green kerchief. "Not everyone has been ready to accept her and take orders from a woman. I'm very confident with the decision now."

Today his daughter oversees the legendary operation, raising some 650 bucking horses on 30,000 acres of short grass prairie outside of Avondale, Colo. (pop. 754). There, the Great Plains fold into rolling hills to meet the Rocky Mountains that shimmer in the distance. Horses share the pastures with prairie dogs, coyotes and deer. Harry and Karen live there, too, in a 129-year-old adobe home. It's filled with more than a half-century's worth of belt buckles, saddles, lassos and awards that make the house a museum to the legacy of the company that the youngest Vold now manages."
