Jake Beutler “Jake should’ve been in there when Lynn (Beulter) went in there, Lynn went in there in 1979. Jake is very deserving of it because he worked really hard. It’s an achievement that’s long overdue.” – Bennie Beutler speaking about Jake. (Lynn Beutler of Elk City, Okla., was an integral part of professional rodeo for 40 years, becoming one of the sport’s most widely known stock contractors in the family rodeo company known as Beutler Brothers. Jake passed away in March of 1975. He was 72.)

Bobby Harris “It’s an honor when you’re elected on other people’s thoughts and stuff. It’s really humbling to be included with the other Hall of Famers in ProRodeo. It means so much to me because the PRCA has been my whole life since I was little boy. I always wanted to be a cowboy. To be able to be included in this Hall of Fame is just really humbling and very honorable.”
