In the Elshere family, rodeo runs in the blood. Thayne, a senior from Sturgis Brown High School, is one of five kids that belong to Lyndsay and J.J. Elshere of Hereford.
While Thayne competes in both saddle bronc and bull riding at the High School Rodeo Finals, he's looking forward to pro-rodeo, something his dad competed in for close to twenty years.
