Billy Jaynes of Bucks By
Design said , " The exciting category to me is the 50% on
Pre-Futurity Bulls. We probably formed at least ten new partnerships
with fans of bull riding that could not otherwise be involved in our
industry. Most of these people have a swimming pool and a dog in their
backyard. We will do all the work and haul the bulls to ABBI futurities
in 2009, and they will just show up and have fun."
