Billy Bob Brown & Kirby Blankenship: 2023 Cheyenne Frontier Days Champs

Billy Bob Brown and Kirby Blankenship survived the gauntlet that is Cheyenne Frontier Days’ tournament-style format to win the coveted team roping title at the Daddy of ’em All, banking $10,600 each for the final round’s 8.0-second run and another $1,400 a man in round money.

After their win, host Chelsea Shaffer sat down with both of them in their living quarters in the parking lot to visit about the significance of their win and where they go from here.
