September 13, 1997 - Texas News regarding Cattle Barons Ball
"Slaughter, a University Park resident, owns eight pairs. He has chosen custom Rodney Ammons boots for the ball. 'They're like putting on slippers. When you wear boots, at the end of the day you might feel some fatigue. But you don't if you have a pair of handmade custom boots.' Slaughter, 39, said his Ammons boots fetch about $1,800 over the counter. They're worth every penny, he says. 'Ammons is one of the premiere El Paso bootmakers,' he said. 'Probably one of the top five in the world.' "
