COWBOY GRILLE WITH TANNER BARTH

How’d you get your start in rodeo? Cash: My dad circuit rodeoed, and he steer wrestled as well. So, I guess I just kind of grew up around it. I grew up opening the chutes for him and loving it. It was something I’ve always wanted to do. I loved watching the NFR on TV and just wanted to be one of those guys one day. When did you know you could make a career out of rodeo? Cash: I never really had another plan. It was something I always wanted and something I always worked at. I guess the first time I thought that it might actually work out is when I went to high school rodeos and started having some success. Why did you decide steer wrestling would be your event? Cash: It helped me a bunch when I was younger watching my dad do it. I like some of the other events out there, but steer wrestling was what I was always best at. It just fit me really well from a young age. Did you do any other rodeo events growing up? Cash: I roped calves and team roped in high school. I still do a little bit of that in college as well, but steer wrestling is all I’m going to compete in as a pro. What’s one rodeo you want to win in your career? Altamount, Utah, steer wrestler not only leads the Resistol Rookie standings, but sits 16th in the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $24,234 won in 2023.

Cash: Everyone would be lying if they said they didn’t want to win the NFR. As far as a regular season rodeo goes, I think it would be really cool to win Calgary. Another one of my big goals is to be able to win every rodeo in my home state of Utah. Why did you decide to get your PRCA card this season? Cash: It just kind of happened. I was not planning to buy it until I was done with college. Then, I was steer wrestling really well last year and things were clicking. So, I talked with Tyler (Waguespack) and (Tyler) Pearson and they both thought I was ready. I went and bought my card after that. Who’s someone you look up to in the rodeo business right now? Cash: I will always look up to my dad. He never really rodeoed fulltime, but I always thought he was the baddest man I’d ever seen. I also look up to Tyler Waguespack. He and his family have been extremely great to me. He’s been helpful in not only teaching me how to wrestle steers, but how to win. What’s your favorite movie? Cash: I feel like one of my favorite movies that never gets old when I watch it is The Cowboys with John Wayne. I really like that movie. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched it. What’s your go to restaurant before or after a rodeo? Cash: I don’t know if I have an exact restaurant that I like the most, but I like Mexican food quite a bit. Anywhere I can find some home cooked food is probably where you’ll find me at, since I don’t get much of that on the road. What’s the first vehicle you drove? Cash: I think my first vehicle was a 1998 Ford Ranger. I think I got it my freshman year and had it all the way up until my senior year of high school. I loved that thing. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not rodeoing? Cash: I really like to fish when I have a little time to relax. When I’m in Louisiana with Waguespack, we like to go down south and fish for red fish and speckled trout. What’s your favorite holiday? Cash: I like Christmas a lot. It’s good to see all of my family and get to spend some time with them. What type of music do you like listening to? Cash: I usually just stick to country music, but if it’s

a late-night drive and I’m pretty tired I might turn on some Post Malone or something to keep me awake.
