In this high-energy episode of Like A Farmer, we sit down with the #1 ranked professional bareback rider in the world, Rocker Steiner. At just 21 years old, Rocker’s already cemented his place in rodeo history with wins like his $100,000 payday at The American, and he’s just getting started. Rocker opens up about his fourth-grade education, being born into a legendary rodeo family, and what it takes to rise to the top of the PRCA world rankings. He shares the story behind his trademark red wardrobe, how he was literally named after Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker, and why his neighbor, Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, asked him to appear on the hit series. From big dreams and bucket lists to the wild ride of rodeo life, this conversation is unfiltered, unexpected, and unforgettable.
