Ponoka, AB: Canadian Bucking Bulls Inc., The (CBBI) was started with the vision of helping guide the bucking bull industry in Canada to a new level. In just five years they have moved toward doing exactly that.
“We started Canadian Bucking Bulls Inc. to be able to provide the opportunity to others to raise rank bucking bulls with some of Canada’s best bloodlines.” Told Tanner Girletz over the phone. Your opportunity to get a chance at some of those bloodlines will be at the Fifth Annual Custom Made Production Sale which takes place Monday, June 24th at VJV Auctions in Ponoka, AB.
