PBR Stock Bull Contractors

The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. uses over 70 different stock contractors across the United States. On average, a stock contractor owns 20 to 200 bulls. The PBR has set high standards for each stock contractor and their bucking bulls. These bulls need to maintain a certain caliber to ensure that they are in top-notch shape to perform. PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert travels across the nation and hand-picks PBR bulls for each Built Ford Tough Series event. At any given event, there are as many as eight to 15 different stock contractors represented, who are selected based upon the locale, and more importantly, the quality of their stock. Each contractor supplies approximately seven to eight bulls per event. The bulls arrive at least 24 hours prior to an event, which helps guarantee that the bulls are acclimated, rested, well-fed and hydrated prior to competition.
