Bill Butterfield is good at a lot of things.
The Lodgepole, S.D., native is in the Hettinger High School hall of fame. He got his PGA card two years after picking up a golf club. His Black Angus cows and calves eat out of the palm of his hand.
“I have to be competing in anything I do,” Butterfield says.
Four years ago, the self-taught pitmaster took home the People’s Choice award at his first competition barbecue event in Taylor.
Butterfield didn’t just bring the smoke that day: He brought his homemade seasonings.
