tor of Peacock’s Feed & Supply
PCT: How did you get into your
occupation?
BP: I went to work for Dairymen’s
Feed in 1975 after school through
the Ag Coop program, which was my
junior year of high school. During
the years of 1975 and 1987 I was a
Professional Bull Rider for the CRA
Circuit and traveled most of the time
but worked at Dairymen. When new
owners, the Coconougher family
from Decatur, purchased the store
they made me Mill Manager. Then
in 1996 I purchased the business
from them, which is now known as
Peacock’s Feed & Supply.

PCT: What is your favorite novel?
BP: I like Westerns, anything about
John Wayne, and, of course, the Larry
McMurtry book Lonesome Dove is a
favorite.
PCT: What do you do to decompress?
BP: I enjoy watching sports on TV,
riding horses and hanging out with
my wife and family. My favorite thing
was watching my two kids play sports
in their youth. My daughter Bliss was
very athletic and played basketball.
My son Colton played baseball clear

miss that a lot. Now we are seeing
our grandkids play soccer and hope
to see them active.

from here know my dad was a horse
trader by hobby and we had many
different horses around all the time.
He took off toward the barn and
went underneath an awning and the
tin caught me right on the top of
my head. I had a hat on, but it cut
right through the hat and literally
scalped me! That’s the on
