ABOUT US...

Carson & Denton Good

Located in Long Valley, South Dakota nestled beneath Eagle Nest Butte, the Good Ranch has been in the family for 70 years.  Gordon, son of Alfred and Peggy Good calf roped and team roped in the NRCA and SDRA during the 1960's and 70's.  In 1962 Gordon married Janet Peterson from Martin, South Dakota.  To this unison came 3 children, Allen, Darin and Debbie.  As the children grew to like the sport of rodeo, Gordon and Janet concentrated on hauling them to Little Britches and High School Rodeos.  Allen and Darin thrived the steer wrestling event.  In 1979 Gordon built an indoor arena, called on a good friend, Wayne Cornish to teach the boys the basics of the event, and purchased from him their first steer wrestling horse. They continued to rodeo with this same horse through High School and College rodeo and bought their PRCA permits while still in high school. Their sister Debbie, also participated in 4H, Little Britches, High School and College Rodeos with breakaway roping, goat tying, and team roping being her favorite events.

In 1993 Allen married Beth Kite, a Wisconsin native, who also participated in Little Britches and High School rodeos in the various girls events.  Born of a rodeo family, she was able to adapt to the ranching, rodeo and horse training way of life.  After a 4 year span of working for World's Toughest Rodeo, they came home to the family ranch to concentrate on raising, training and selling quality performance horses with steer wrestling and hazing horses being their specialty.

With this being truly a family affair, a normal day consists of 4 year old Denton on his Shetland and 10 year old Carson on Hank, Mom (Beth) running the chute, Grandpa Gordon hazing and Dad (Allen) training the steer wrestling horses.
