PASSION, KINDNESS,
AND FAITH

Carsen James Perry was a junior stock contractor whose smile, faith, and relentless work ethic left a lasting impact on the bucking bull industry. In 2023, he and his bull, 791 Motley Crew, earned the Junior Reserve World Champion title — but his true legacy was the way he treated people.

He encouraged others.
He worked harder than anyone.
He never hesitated to lend a hand.

Founded in 2024, the Carsen Perry Legacy Scholarship invests in young stock contractors who reflect those same values  ensuring that his passion, integrity, and spirit continue to shape the future of the industry.
