Bo Derschon isn’t just a man of few words—he’s practically a poet of silence. As Legacy Pro Rodeo’s Livestock Manager, Bo has built a reputation for being perpetually grumpy, but don’t let the furrowed brow fool you. Beneath that tough exterior is a big-hearted teddy bear who’s happiest when surrounded by his four-legged coworkers. Whether it’s bulls or broncs, Bo has a way with animals that few can rival. People? Well, let’s just say the animals get the better end of that deal.
Raised in the rodeo world, Bo has spent his entire life caring for the powerful and majestic creatures that make the sport tick. He has an almost magical ability to calm a nervous bronc or wrangle a stubborn bull—all without raising his voice (or sometimes even saying a word).
When Bo isn’t in the arena ensuring the livestock is ready to perform at their best, he’s back on the ranch in Burns, Oregon, helping keep the operation running smoothly. For Bo, ranch life is the perfect escape—quiet, peaceful, and filled with his favorite kind of company: the four-legged kind.
Despite his “gruff cowboy” persona, those who know Bo best will tell you he’s as loyal and caring as they come. His passion for rodeo animals isn’t just part of the job—it’s his calling. So, while he might not light up a room with small talk, Bo’s dedication to the animals and the sport of rodeo speaks volumes. And honestly, who needs chit-chat when you’ve got a job this cool?
