About Ullman-Peterson Events
The Phoenix-based production company helmed by Daren and Kami Peterson and Corky Ullman has owned and produced the Bob Feist Invitational since 2012 and purchased the Reno Rodeo Invitational team ropings in 2015. Founded by notable rodeo announcer and publisher Bob Feist in 1977, the BFI is the richest team roping event for professionals and one of the most prestigious, due to its limited roster and long head-start for steers. The high-stakes amateur, female and youth roping events surrounding the BFI comprise Wrangler BFI Week – the most lucrative one-day events of their kind.
This event is the talk of the Team Roping World. Best of luck to all the participants and thanks to Cody for being part of this for the charities involved. Under the direction of Ullman Peterson Events it is insured to be a first class event.
