Pete Baker/Homestead Genetics Purchases Top 2007 PBBA Bull

Posted Friday, February 29, 2008

Liberty, SC, February 27, 2008. Coley Treadway’s bull #231 Southern Gangster was the Professional Bucking Bull Association’s (PBBA) number two bull for all of 2007. When Pete and Gene Baker of Homestead Genetics were looking for some undiscovered bulls that consistently scored high and had spent some time on the road they went to the PBBA website, www.PBBAnow.com, and Southern Gangster’s name appeared at the top of the standings. Pete called Coley and they struck a deal. Coley didn’t disclose how much he sold the bull for, but he did said he was going to buy a new stock trailer in addition to buying his Mom a new lawnmower.

Homestead Genetics is based out of Anson, TX. They are best known as the home of the legendary sire Houdini. Homestead Genetics has raised three champions in the past five years. Lightning Jack, 2005 ABBI Futurity Bull of the Year, Dr. Hou and the 2007 American Heritage Futurity Champion Last Call. Last Call was bred by Homestead Genetics and raised by Jeff Rose. Last Call won over $75,000 at the American Heritage, and set records for Futurity bulls by also winning the Winnie Classic and Spring Spectacular. Of late they have been putting together a pen of great bulls to haul PBR Built Ford Tough Events. Southern Gangster will make his Built Ford Tough debut at the Baltimore, MD event March 1-2, 2008.

Congratulations to all parties and we look forward to seeing more of #231 Southern Gangster, former PBBA Champion now making his home in Anson, TX.
