  Gerald Nelson Jr.

  Jerry Nelson started with down-to-earth beginnings. At age 18, Jerry's father loaned him and his brother $5,000 and told them to "make it work." Jerry now operates one of the most victorious oilfield equipment businesses in the society, Maverick International, based in Beaumont, Texas. But when asked which business he is most confident of, with a chuckle and a grin, he will always say, Frontier Rodeo Company. 

  Frontier Rodeo Company started in the early 1990s with a petty plot of ground and one livestock rig. In the 20 years since Frontier's start, it has become one of the most successful rodeo companies in the nature and has been awarded PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year and PRCA Remuda Award—awarded to rodeo companies that demonstrate the uppermost quality, consistency and compassion for the business. 

  Frontier Rodeo Company's breeding program has produced some of the top bucking livestock in the country winning not one, not two, but seven PRCA World Championships for Bucking Stock of the Year. The infamous Medicine Girl, 4x PRCA Saddle Bronc of the Year, along with her pasture mates, Full Baggage and Maple Leaf, acquire made Frontier Rodeo Company a domestic name in the rod
