Founded in 2004, 3 String Cattle Co. is a premier rope horse and cattle operation headquartered in Wallsburg, Utah, with an additional ranch in Poolville, Texas. Owned by Redgie and Robyn Probst, 3 String is built on the foundation of faith, hard work, and a lifelong dedication to the Western way of life.

Together with their children—Quincy, Quealy, Paisley, and Parley—the Probst family runs a hands-on, family-driven program that produces elite rope horses and reliable cattle. With state-of-the-art training facilities at both locations, 3 String is committed to raising horses that are bred to perform, built to last, and capable of excelling in the arena and on the ranch.

As one of the founders of the Old West Rope Horse Futurity, Redgie Probst is passionate about advancing the industry and creating opportunities for trainers, breeders, and youth to thrive. That same vision and leadership are reflected in every aspect of 3 String’s program.

From the pastures of Utah to the bright lights of the futurity arena, 3 String Cattle Co. represents a legacy in the making—where tradition, performance, and purpose ride side by side.

Jerad Wittwer didn’t just build a business—he built a legacy rooted in hard work, innovation, and an unwavering passion for diesel performance. He started turning wrenches in 1991, learning the trade the old-fashioned way: with his hands, his heart, and a hunger to be the best.

Raised on a Utah ranch, Jerad’s roots run deep in the western way of life. Long before PDI became a national name, he was a teenage ranch kid rebuilding engines in the dirt driveway, working sunup to sundown with the same grit and work ethic that still defines the company today. That upbringing—where horsepower mattered just as much on a tractor as it did on a truck—shaped his values and commitment to quality.

In 2001, Jerad launched Performance Diesel Inc. out of a small shop in St. George, Utah. His goal was simple: build high-quality parts that truckers and fleets could trust—because he knew firsthand what it meant to rely on your engine when your livelihood depends on it.

What began as a small shop has become a trusted leader in heavy-duty diesel parts across North and South America and Australia—known for quality, reliability, and service. But more than that, PDI is a company built on faith, family, and a deep respect for the industries that fuel America.

Old West is led by a passionate team of horsemen, business strategists, and event producers dedicated to building something truly extraordinary. We understand both sides of the arena—from the competition gate to the sale ring—and we’re proud to serve the western industry with integrity and excellence.

“We didn’t just want to host a great event. We wanted to create a movement—one that honors the horses, rewards the riders, and celebrates the Old West way of life.”
