@BackSeatBuckers...(The) Future of the @abbinow & @PBR looks impressive.’ The night after the young bulls bucked, fans witnessed some of the best bullriding in the world. The ABBI Classic bulls were a challenge for the top PBR riders. Ryan Dirte-ater didn’t last the 8 seconds on event winner 20U Shep-herd Hills Tested, and there was a 5-way tie for second best bull of the night. Pueblo & PBR also hosted the Wild Wild West Festival the whole weekend, where attendees could visit booths, eat fair food, ride carnival rides, and watch bands play.

Pueblo was an event-filled weekend which had ABBI members on their toes! It started with the Junior Futuri-ty and Futurity on Friday which saw a first-ever tie be-tween two Junior Members for both the junior and the open events!

Friday night’s BFTS Maturity came out with 2 winners: Poker Face of Box K Cattle and Cat Ballou of Diamond S

Bucking Bulls. The champi-on of the PBR 1st Round was Cody Nance riding Boyd/Floyd’s Heebee Geebee, who place third that night.

Saturday’s festivities began with the season opener of the Back Seat Bucker’s Futurity. The bulls were in fine form and were treated to a full pro-duction, as if they were at a Built Ford Tough Series event. This is something the

bulls should prob-ably get used to, as after seeing the bulls buck, an-nouncer Matt West tweeted ‘Had a blast at

Here’s what our Facebook & Twitter readers had to say when we asked their opinion on the world’s best bucking bulls.

Reader Poll: What are the 5 Best Bucking

Bulls of All Time?

Mouse Trap, Sports Machine (Lyons), D105, +99 Hollywood, and 81 Skat Kat. IMO... –Trent West 

I have to say red rock, Dillinger, Bodacious, Gunslinger, and the

last which I think (will) be a legend soon to

come (is) Bushwacker. -Zack Alverson

Follow American Bucking Bull, Inc. on Facebook and Twitter to join the conversation.

Hmmmm. Good question how do you rank 'em or even pick?

A good start would be: Gunslinger, Mudslinger, Yellow Jacket and Jr.,

Bodacious and well VORTEX. If you don’t know that one look him up - Cross Lazy S out of

Ulysses, KS. (His) career ended WAY too early.

-Steve Johnson

Bodacious, Red Wolf, Little Yellow Jacket,

Tornado, Blueberry Wine -Geri Hibblen Jackson

 Hollywood, Moody Blues, Blueberry Wine, Red Wolf and Bodacious. Herring-ton owned 4 of them at the same time for a reason. They got their hooves tested

on the truck for a long time . -Duston Hull
