Fun facts about Cory: After experiencing the highs and lows of rodeo, Cory is now using his skills in the arena to reach people outside of it. He and fellow calf roper King Pickett started Royalty I.D. and they have partnered with the USDA to show underprivileged teens opportunities for careers in agriculture. They brought a group of participants to Wyoming’s Cheyenne Frontier Days last July. His work ethic and appreciation for agriculture comes from his parents that both work at Prairie View A&M University. His father manages the school’s farm, and his mother works for the ag department. Cory’s best season came last year when he finished third in the world standings. He is hoping to improve on that with his tenth trip to Las Vegas.
