Description: Earl 'Bud' Batteate was born November 20, 1918, and grew up on his father's Oakdale, California cattle ranch. He got the rodeo bug when he was just 7 years old and rode his first calf. Ten years later, Batteate was a young rodeo champ, got married, had a son, and decided to take up cattle hauling to support his new family. His dad transported cattle, but mostly for their own stock, so Batteate knew the business and undoubtedly had his dad's help in getting him going. Starting out with a single truck as Batteate Livestock Transportation Co., he grew his business to more than 30 trucks by the mid '40s, continuing to drive himself, while also riding rodeo nights and weekends for over 60 years.
