From the September 8, 1997 edition of the Daily American Republic This week's throwback looks back on a story highlighting the R & R Rodeo Company out of Ellsinore. Harve and Donna Reynolds, along with their children, Monty and Amanda once leased roping and bucking stock to the southeast Missouri area community, high school and 4-H rodeos. The stock company was formed in 1986, a year after Harve Reynolds retired from the professional rodeo circuit.
