T.C. Long was born and raised in the small West Texas town of Andrews. The sport of rodeo was always a part of T.C’s youth, being that his father was both a calf roper and a team roper. T.C. began participating in rodeos at the age of 5, and he attended rodeos throughout Texas and New Mexico.
T.C. discovered his true calling at the age of 14 when he was asked by family friend to announce the activities during a small, local playday. He picked up the microphone which is where he began learning the behind the scenes work that is necessary in producing events. He began to expand his repertoire to include junior rodeos in the states of Texas and New Mexico. It didn’t take long before rodeo producers discovered his talents. In 2001, fresh out of high school, a stock contractor that T.C. had worked with during several junior rodeos took a chance and asked T.C. to announce the largest open rodeo produced by his company, and that is all it took to introduce T.C.’s voice to the world of rodeo. In December 2002, he was approached by Booger Barter Productions, the nation’s 2nd largest team roping production company, to become a full-time employee and announce all of their team roping competitions. He then moved to Athens, Texas.
T.C. was accepted into the PRCA as a Pro Rodeo Announcer in October 2005 at the young age of 22.

Wrangler is a legendary brand that has been a staple for the American cowboy since 1947. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the arena, on the ranch, or day to day activities, Wrangler has the outfit for everyone. I am very thankful and proud to be a part of the Wrangler team.

You truly become part of their family and they treat you that way. No matter where I am on the road, if I need something for my truck, Elder makes it happen. You won’t be disappointed if you become part of the Elder Athens family.
Total Equine by Total Feeds is a staple in my barn and on the road. I have been feeding Total Equine for over 15 years with great success. My equine partners are a vital part of my career as a professional rodeo announcer. Total Equine is always consistent and each bag is always fresh. Many times horses do not eat well on the road, but when I am travelling and I am gone for long periods of time, I never struggle to keep my horses eating like they do at home. They enjoy Total Equine so much, they literally rattle their buckets in anticipation of me pouring the grain in the bucket. Also being that Total Equine is such a complete feed, I do not have to take up space in the trailer for supplements so that my horses receive the nutrition they need. I have fed Total Equine to my active horses as well as to my retired senior mare who is well in her 30’s. It is a great versatile feed and definitely is a key factor in my horses being shiny, happy, and healthy. Thank you Total Feeds for your continued support.
