Bulls Rule the Day at Rafter 3-C Fallon Finale

Bulls Rule the Day at  Rafter 3-C Fallon Finale
Story and Photos by John Baker.

The High Desert Bucking Bull Association (HDBBA) returned to the Rafter 3C Events Complex on Saturday, September 14, to host the last event of the competition of the year, the Fallon Finale. Established in 2016, HDBBA seeks to foster growth within the bucking bull industry as a place for breeders to showcase their stock and open the door for opportunities in prestigious events, and they certainly succeed. 

 

Futurity events kicked off the day, where 20 ranches showcased their bull stock across five events. Over 60 animals showed off their potential. While some looked promising, others showed they still needed a little work. Regardless of each animal’s performance, everyone was supportive and enjoyed the athleticism that was on display. 

 

The evening performance featured 12 ranches further demonstrating their animals’ abilities with three divisions of bull riding. Ten riders put their skills to the test on the 25+ showcased animals. Some riders were able to show off their own talent, but for the most part, the bulls ruled the day.
