This week on Cowboy Sh!t, we’re joined by rodeo entertainer and barrelman Dave Whitmoyer.

Dave has been entertaining rodeo crowds across North America since 2008, building a reputation as one of the best in the business. His resume includes 7× INFR Barrelman, 4× Northern Rodeo Association Finals Barrelman, and appearances at the 2016 First Frontier PRCA Circuit Finals and 2015 Montana PRCA Circuit Finals. He’s also been recognized as a Top 5 PRCA Comedy Act of the Year and is a 2024 nominee for PRCA Comedy Act of the Year and Coors Man in the Can.

But when Dave isn’t traveling the country keeping rodeo fans laughing, you’ll find him back home in Montana. Dave and his wife Kelly live on a small farm in the Bitterroot Valley, where they’re raising their two daughters, a small herd of cows, and a variety of other farm animals. Proud native Montanans, they’re passionate about the western way of life and passing those values—and a love of the land—down to the next generation.

In this episode, Dave shares stories from behind the barrel, life on the road as a rodeo entertainer, and what it means to balance the rodeo lifestyle with raising a family rooted in the western way of life.
