Jim Shoulders was a cowboy in the truest sense of the word! From Henryetta, Oklahoma, he was a rodeo star and a rancher for his entire life, as well as an entrepeneur and businessman.  He is commemorated at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. At the time of his death, he was one of the most successful contestants in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), having won 16 World Championships, which was the most of any performer at that time. He was known as the 'Babe Ruth of rodeo'. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and died in Henryetta, Oklahoma

Shoulders won his first bull riding competition in Oilton, Oklahoma at the age of fourteen. He competed until his retirement due to injury at the age of forty-two. His success at competitions included:

World All-Around Champion Cowboy Championships (1949, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959).
World Bull Rider Championships. (1951 and 1954 to 1959).
World Bareback Bronc Rider Championships. (1950 and 1956 to 1958).
Shoulders was the first competitor to win all three events (bareback bronc, bull riding and all-round) at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR).

Shoulders set the record of 16 world championships in 1959 when he won his 15th and 16th titles. The record stood for a long time until steer roper Guy Allen matched the record in 2001 after winning his 16th steer roping title.
