Most people wouldn’t opt to jump from a speeding horse onto an angry steer and then wrestle that steer down to the dirt. But 5-time World Steer Wrestling Champion Luke Branquinho lives for it. Luke grew up in the rodeo world, with two older brothers who helped mold his competitive nature. Luke officially retired in 2022 after twenty-one years on the pro circuit, and in 2023 he was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Despite being retired, Luke continues to make an impact on the rodeo community through commentating at major events and through his podcast, The Luke Branquinho Show. Outside the arena, you can find Luke at his family ranch, raising three boys with his wife, Lindsay.
