We are a registry set up to record and preserve the pedigrees of the world’s premier American Bucking Bull breed. ABBI is structured to promote participation by those with the biggest stake in the bucking bull industry – the owners, breeders and trainers of the world’s greatest bucking bulls. We provide an environment where bucking bull breeders can introduce and foster the growth of young bucking bulls ensuring the finest animal athletes are available to compete at selected PBR Elite Tour and PBR Touring Pro events. HISTORY ABBI started in 2004 and then began a rapid expansion of its business beginning in 2008 through the registration, verification and maintenance of pedigrees for the American Bucking Bull breed; the organization, management and promotion of “world class” programs and events benefit- ing stock owners; and providing incentives, benefits and opportunities for ABBI’s owners and members which enhance the value and integrity of the American Bucking Bull breed. The ABBI affords bucking bull breeders the opportunity to bring their animal athletes to PBR sanctioned events to compete against one another for a world championship held at the end of the season.
