We’re not exactly sure what Metallic Cat will be doing in his Yellowstone cameo, but thanks to the folks at Quarter Horse News, we do know how the famed rodeo champ and prized sire earned a spot on the series. As it happens, the coveted cameo spot on the Western saga opened up after Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan donated the opportunity to a charity auction benefiting the National Cutting Horse Association Charities Foundation. While we’re certain that bidding for the prime time guest spot on Yellowstone was frenzied, the winning bid eventually came via Metallic Cat’s owner Bobby Patton.
That bid was surprisingly robust as well, with Patton ponying up (no pun intended) a staggering $165,000 to get Metallic Cat his chance at Hollywood stardom. After submitting the bid and securing Metallic Cat’s slot on Yellowstone, Patton reportedly thanked Sheridan for the “generous and fun” donation. Patton went on to note that he and Metallic Cat’s team were looking forward to “an exciting adventure,” before saying of his winning bid, “That this donation came with the opportunity for Metallic Cat to be included in an upcoming episode of Yellowstone was icing on the cake.”
