From an early age Kory Keeth knew he wanted to announce rodeos and fortunately, had the gift of gab. After graduating high school, he set out to pursue his dream at North Eastern Oklahoma A&M. His announcing career started in the fall of 2012 at the age of 19 announcing every calf roping and team roping jack pot there at the college. He then went on to announce the 2013 Southwestern Oklahoma State University rodeo which officially kicked off his career which led the way for two more college rodeos in the central plains region, including Kansas State and Fort Hays, which he still announces today. From there Kory has spent the last few years announcing a variety of events such as:
- RFDTV’s The American
-Cowboy Channel JR NFR
- Ellensburg Rodeo
- Las Vegas Days Rodeo
- Catfish Stampede
- Dacotah Bank Stampede
- The American Royal
In 2017 Kory began his PRCA announcing career and has spent the last year traveling the country gaining as much experience as possible. Kory takes pride in being sure he knows as much as possible about every contestant. On top of his announcing career, he has a beef cow/calf operation in Southwest Missouri and raises high quality commercial heifers. Kory is also heavily involved in ministry and speaks at many different events throughout the year, as well as plays music and leads worship at cowboy church services all across the country.
“I love the lifestyle, the people, and I love telling the great fans all about who we are as Cowboys and Cowgirls” -Kory
