PRCA bullfighter Jeremy Sparks, who has worked each of the last eight Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days Rodeos and five National College Finals Rodeos in Casper, Wyo., has decided to retire from the sport so that he might “be the best dad and family man possible.”

Sparks, 32, and his wife Jamie have a son, Jas, and are expecting twin boys this spring.
“I have dedicated over half my life to bullfighting and have never imagined life without rodeo,” Sparks said. “However, I am confident the time has come for me to walk away from the sport that I love.

“Despite the fact that I am still young, and able to perform at the highest level, my priorities in life have simply changed. The burning desire to continue putting rodeo at the forefront of my life has grown dim.”

Sparks’ only appearance as a bullfighter this year will be July 24 at his beloved hometown rodeo, the Cheyenne Frontier Days.
