PBR fans stand to gain a lot, as membership in Back Seat Buck-ers gets you PBR Event Tickets at special rates and a 2-year-old bull that will be competing at stops along the BFTS tour. Not to mention if your Futurity bull be-comes the next super-star and continues his career by squaring off against some of the toughest PBR Riders in the world.

But when it comes down to it, those who are most

It’s hard not to get caught up in all the excitement surrounding Back Seat Buckers lately.

Fans of just about anything have a reason to get in-volved. For the bull fan’s interest, ABBI has picked top ranking breeding pro-grams and lineages for the pool of 100 Futurity Calves competing. Included in the mix of bloodlines are Hou-dini, White Sports Coat, Little Yellow Jacket, and Panhandle Slim. Knowing that your bull will be trained by Kent Cox, trainer of 2011 Bull of the Year Bushwacker, and a service team including Dean Wil-

son and retired PBR bull-fighter Joe Baumgartner gives you the comfort of knowing that your bull will be receiving top-notch care.

Sports fans are more inter-ested than ever because of all the celebrities that have joined in the pro-gram’s inaugural season. But with Back Seat Buck-ers, knowing that you would be invited with just 99 other people to a meal or party where John Elway, Chad Ochocinco, Wayne Gretzky, and Reg-gie Jackson are in attend-ance is just another of the many perks of being a

excited about Back Seat Buckers are fans of making money. Owners have a 1/100 chance to win at each event. The Back Seat Buckers pot totals half a million dollars, and the finals champion wins $250,000 in one night. Considering the finals take place in Las Vegas, NV, this is probably the best odds you’ll see all year.

A Look Ahead: More Futurities Than Ever phenville, TX. This is appropri-ate since the Spring Fling event was voted ‘Event of the Year’ for 2011. Boyd & Floyd consistently produce a great event for ABBI Stock Contrac-tors, including the kick-off din-ner and complete with an East-er egg hunt for the kids.

For 2012, ABBI has arranged to continue the popular Thack-erville, OK futurity event. Oth-er events with a first-time Fu-turity are Springfield, MO and Claremore, OK.

When the ABBI Staff sat down at their meeting recently, they knew what they wanted to do: get more Futurities on the schedule for their members. So that’s exactly what they did.

The Futurity season starts a bit earlier this year, with an event in Oklahoma City in conjunc-tion with the Built Ford Tough Series Classic. ABBI is com-mitted to growing the Futurity System because they know it is the best way to get bucking bulls started on the competition ladder. Plus, the more events scheduled, the more opportuni-ties for our members to win money and earn points toward World Finals.

Happily, the Junior Futurity season starts earlier too. The first event will be at Boyd & Floyd’s Spring Fling in Ste-

Each year sees it’s own stand-out stars, as you can tell by the list of Award Recipients for 2011. But do you ever wonder if things would be different if we let Facebook decide the results?

Here’s what our Facebook & Twitter readers had to say when we asked their opinion on influential breeders.

Reader Poll: Which do you think was the

most influential breeding program of 2011?

“Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls” -Daylen Lebsack  

    “To Julio Moreno and Cindy Rosser for Bushwhacker he

has brought a lot of great publicity to the bull side not just

the riders and is so fun to watch”

We want to hear from you. Do you have some cool pic-tures of your cows, bulls, or calves? Are you an artist who wants to show off your work? Send your piece to the office to be included in our mailbag.

“I think Charlie Plummer is most influential because a lot of peoples foundations go back to CP cows. However, I feel that people like Alex Naccarato, The Roaches (rafter7r), The Hargis', The Pages, Burns, Kephart, Kish, Katich, have all added their own twist and genetics to our industry. I can't say any 1 is more influential than the next I can just say I am proud to say my herd cows (go) back to all of the above!”
