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.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
