Rodeo Producer
Born in 1918, Homer Todd became one of the most prominent rodeo producers and promoters of the 1950s. Many on the circuit called him “the bull man,” a nickname he earned because of the quality of his livestock.
Todd’s rodeos were some of the best. He produced venues in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Three of his biggest were the Tri-State Fair Rodeo in Memphis, the Louisiana State Fair Rodeo, and the Little Rock, Arkansas, State Fair Rodeo.
Well respected for his fairness with stock drawings, Homer Todd also insisted that the rodeo contestants maintain the traditional “cowboy image.” At his rodeos, no one came into the arena wearing ball caps or tennis shoes. Todd died in 1958.
