Boyd Polhamus

Boyd has been behind the microphone at the biggest rodeo events in the world including as a 20-time announcer at the National Finals Rodeo. You may have also heard his voice at RodeoHouston, the National Western in Denver, the Calgary Stampede, the Dodge City Round Up, and Snake River Stampede. He was Wisconsin’s first 3-time All-Around Champion Cowboy at the high school level, earning a scholarship to compete at a college level in Texas where his passion for announcing began. He decided he was better with a microphone than a rope and the rest is history.
