ABBI World Finals 2019

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the American Bucking Bull Incorporated (ABBI), is a bull registry set up to preserve and record the pedigrees of the world’s most premier bucking bull stock. Here is their opening mission statement from their website,

“American Bucking Bull, Inc. (“ABBI”) is dedicated to unifying, developing and promoting the bucking bull industry through pedigree preservation; enhancement and promotion of bucking bull ownership, breeding, and welfare; and development of programs and events showcasing the world’s finest bucking bull stock.”

You might be asking yourself why there is a need for a registry of bucking bulls. The answer is as simple as being able to preserve the bucking bull heritage and promoting the growth of the sport in a way that’s structured and beneficial for everyone involved. In partnership with the PBR, ABBI wants to promote participation in the bucking bull industry by those who live it everything single day, the owners, breeders, and trainers of these bulls.

History of ABBI

Before 2003, ABBI wasn’t even around. It used to strictly be a DNA Registry, formerly known as RSR (Rodeo Stock Registry). Even back then, it was recognized that there was a need for preserving bucking bull genetics. The database ended up being the foundation of modern-day, American Bucking Bull Inc. (ABBI).

Back in the day, the largest payday a bull could earn was $20,000 for being selected as the World Champion Bucking Bull. These days, thanks to ABBI events all over the country, animals can earn as much as $500,000 between their 2 and 4-year-old years. Some of the greatest bulls in bucking bull history, like Bushwacker, have come out of the ABBI’s competition system.
