“CBS called me and originally wanted 100 head of cattle to come to Dallas,” Alford said. “But it wouldn’t have been safe for the contestants, producers or cattle. They asked me for an alternative and I said I could get ’em 60 head of cattle and land on a ranch owned by a friend of mine.”
Alford said the show’s executive directors made a trip to the ranch to see if it would work.
“I reached out to my friend, Ricky Parnell, and we got all the cattle, horses and cowboys from all over Johnson County together,” Alford said. “Then we actually had the producers chasing some cattle around to see what it would be like. They liked what we had to offer and agreed to have the show at the ranch.”
Alford said the cowboys gave the contestants a few lessons on how to ride a horse.
“It’s not on the show, but we actually spent a little time with the contestants before they began the race to teach them how to ride,” Alford said. “When the contestants showed up during the race, each team got to pick their own cowboy team leader, pen of cattle and which horse they wanted to ride. With $1 million at stake, we wanted to make it fair so nobody would gripe about getting stuck with a horse they didn’t want.”
Parnell said when Alford called and asked if CBS could use his ranch for the show, he said it was fine with him.
“I thought it would be exciting,” Parnell said. “Only thing we really had to do was build some extra pens and corrals to accommodate the race.”
Parnell said this was the first event he’s ever had at his ranch.
“We started at 7 in the morning and probably got through around 3 or 4 in the afternoon,” Parnell said. “It was fun because nothing was acted out— it was all the real deal."
