Bob Tallman Talks Growing Up and His Start in Announcing

Bob Tallman was raised in Nevada on a cattle ranch that was seven generations deep. It was a family business of beef, marketing, and rodeo. Tallman’s family instilled a foundation in him that helps him in his career today.

Meeting people like Dean Oliver, Jim Shoulders, Ty Murrays and more made Tallman realize that cowboys needed a voice.

“I can make them bigger than life. They’re only going to be there eight seconds but if I start right and I have the knowledge, I dang sure have the desire,” Tallman said.

Tallman is now one of the most iconic voices in rodeo.
