ANNOUNCERS

Boyd Polhamus is a dedicated fan of the cowboy as both athlete and individual, his career has put him behind the microphone at the biggest rodeo events in the world. Polhamus started this life and career as a cowboy in Wisconsin. He was the state’s first three-time All-Around Champion Cowboy on the High School level. That feat earned him a scholarship to compete on the college level in Texas; and that’s where his announcing career began. “It was clear that God gave me a lot more talent with a mic than he did with a rope; so it was an easy decision to go with the announcing,” he said.

Polhamus’ schedule includes about 40 venues a year and close to 170 performances, and that adds up to being on the road between 260 and 280 days a year. Boyd has been married for over 25 years to his wife, Sandee. She travels with him as much as she can, while at the same time taking care of their “Band-Aid Ranch” along with all their pets and animals in Brenham, Texas.

Noted for his depth of research Polhamus’ journey includes many accolades, including Announcer and Production Manager for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada. He’s the youngest announcer ever selected to work the NFR, (25 years of age in 1990).He’s been voted the WPRA Announcer and Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association Announcer of the Year multiple times.
