Condolences to the entire Sutton Family!

James (Jim) Sutton Jr.
4-20-1935 ~ 9-3-2026

Today, we said goodbye to our patriarch, an innovator, record setting athlete and a true cowboy legend.

Our legend.

He believed in hard work, high integrity, superior performance and had a true love for competition, quality livestock, production & entertainment.

His wisdom was earned through a lifetime of experiences on the ranch, in the arena, on the court, the field and the rodeo road.

His influence was felt throughout the Western industry, leaving behind a legacy that is far from finished. It lives on in the values he taught, in the land he loved, and the stock he raised.

A great man.
A great cowboy.
A great dad and grandfather.
A great leader.
A life well lived.

We say farewell with sorrow, but also with gratitude.

May he make this final ride knowing he leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and a legacy that they will strive to carry on.

Rest easy, your work here is done.

The Range Days PRCA Rodeo was a fun time! We started off the week with a trip to Old MacDonald’s Farm to visit some baby animals, carried flags at the performances, visited sponsors, and attended the Xtreme Broncs Finals Draw Party.

Thank you to the Central States Fair, Range Days Committee, and every volunteer who makes events like these possible! I would also like to thank the Todd family for loaning me the best horse for weekend!

Come on down to the Central States Fair!
