Culp Bucking Bulls

By Tracye Dethero

Culp Bucking Bulls humble beginning started in the winter of 2015 in Alturas, California when the father and son team, consisting of Lynn Culp and Drew Culp, attended Benny Binion’s Bucking Horse and Bull Sale at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. At the sale, father and son brought home their first four bulls, Painted Pudge, Money, Applewood, and a bull named Black Ice. The younger Culp’s grandfather introduced him to John Growney in 2011 while Drew was riding bulls for the California High School Rodeo Association District One team. Growney took him under his wing and helped him haul bulls to different events. In 2016 Culp was able to haul bulls with Growney to Klamath for a six-event series. Following the event in Klamath, Culp also took three bulls to the Clovis PBR (Professional Bull Riders) event with Dustin and Jerry Howell.

Culp’s first BFTS (Built Ford Tough Series) event was in 2017 in Nampa, Idaho in which he took a little black bull; named 204 Money along with a few other bulls in his trailer.

“Money laid down in the chute and Edwardo Aparecido got a re-ride,” said Culp. “Aparecido was able to have a rematch with Money in early 2020 before Covid, riding him for 88.5 points in Anaheim, California”.

In 2018, Culp Bucking Bulls LLC made their first trip to the PBR in Little Rock, Arkansas, with Painted Pudge being chosen to buck at the PBR Finals in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. At the finals, bull rider Nathan Burtenshaw bucked off Painted Pudge at 6.53 seconds with a bull score of 38. Painted Pudge was retired in 2019 and now resides at the Culp Ranch in Alturas enjoying a life in the green pastures. The 2019 season also saw Culp hauling bulls with John Growney

to Logandale, Nevada and Clovis, California PRCA and PBR events as well as West Coast Rodeo joining the Culp Bucking Bulls family.

Culp continued to haul bulls to different events until Covid hit, when the industry was forced to take a break. Which lead to a six-event series in beautiful Palo Cedro, California at Silver Bridge Rodeo, with Jesse Aitken winning the series and Alex Guzman winning the event buckle.

2021 brought more events for Culp to haul bulls to, including PBR events in California, Washington State as well as Idaho. Culp Bucking Bulls LLC currently has eleven bulls on the trailer, but at one point had twenty of them.

In the 2022 season, Culp has taken bulls to three PBR events including Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Anaheim in California. After two years of being hauled by Culp, a bull by the name of 739 Nasty Wishes was sold to Chad Berger for the sum of $35,000 in February of this year. Nasty Wishes had an average bull score of 43.22 with a buck off percentage of 49.

When I asked which rider was the most inspiring to him, Culp replied, “Ryan Dirteater. I can remember watching him ride when I was a kid. Dirteater got on Money in Nampa but got bucked off. I really like his riding style.”

As a stock contractor, Culp finds that he gets both nervous and excited at PBR events as he wants his bulls to perform top notch in the arena. The future continues to look bright for Culp Bucking Bulls LLC as they continue hauling to PBR events, working towards qualifying for the finals, producing different events including bull ridings and junior rodeos as well as raising elite bulls and taking them to top level events. Culp’s father, Lynn runs the family’s ranch in Alturas, California where the bulls are kept part of the year, he also helps to raise the hay crop which is used to feed the bulls year-round. Culp Bucking Bulls LLC is a family affair, as they all work and travel together to different events.

Painted Pudge is one of Culp’s favorite bulls as far as personality is concerned. Some of the other bulls in the Culp string are Hummer’s Gold, 839 Filthy Wish, and 432 Judgment Day.

Drew Culp was born in Chico, California and adopted at an early age by Lynn and Cindy Culp. He attended Modoc High School, graduating in 2013 and resides in Red Bluff, California.

PBR Team Series Trade Deadline & Roster Lock Date Fast Appraching

PUEBLO, Colo. – The 2022 PBR Team Series Championship in Las Vegas is a month away, and time is dwindling for any teams looking to make one final major splash and adjust their roster in time for the postseason (Nov. 4-6 at T-Mobile Arena).

The PBR Team Series trade deadline is set for Oct. 6, and teams will have until 11:59 p.m. MT on Thursday to make a trade. The League Office extended the trade deadline two days following requests from team general managers. As of Monday morning, the PBR Team Series has seen three trades occur since the league was founded. The first trade remains the most significant, with the Carolina Cowboys making a blockbuster deal at the 2022 PBR Team Series Draft, presented by ZipRecruiter, to acquire 2022 World Champion Daylon Swearingen and Mason Taylor from the Texas Rattlers in exchange for Joao Ricardo Vieira and Cody Jesus. The teams also swapped third-round draft spots, leading to Texas selecting Brady Fielder at No. 26 overall and Carolina taking Ramon de Lima with No. 30. Coincidentally, the Cowboys ended up trading Lima over Labor Day Weekend to the Austin Gamblers for a 2024 second-round draft pick and cash considerations. The other trade so far also involved Carolina General Manager Austin Dillon and Texas GM Mark George when Carolina sent Junior Patrik Souza to Texas for Ednelio Almeida at the end of August. We will see if the anticipated trade deadline leads to any further moves this week before Rattler Days in Fort Worth, Texas (Oct. 7-9).

In addition to the trade deadline, teams have until 6 p.m. MT on Monday (Oct. 3) to attempt to make an offer to sign any rider off another’s team’s practice roster. Following Monday night, teams will not be permitted to sign another team’s practice roster riders until the offseason under the roster lock rules (see below).

Not only is Oct. 6 the trade deadline, but it is also the roster lock date for the final two regular-season events (Rattler Days in Fort Worth, Texas, & Ridge Rider Days in Glendale, Arizona) and the 2022 PBR Team Series Championship in Las Vegas. A team’s roster will be locked as of 11:59 p.m. MT on Oct. 6. What does this mean?

Teams will still have seven protected riders, five practice roster riders and two available injured reserve spots for the remainder of the season, but teams will not be allowed to drop a rider to sign a free agent unless there is an injury affecting its roster, with a new IR designation by the team. Teams are still permitted to drop a healthy rider from their roster if they so choose, but they will not be allowed to replace that rider with another rider until the offseason. Therefore, the rosters teams have on Oct. 7 will likely be the final rosters they use come Las Vegas and the postseason. All eight teams in the league qualify for the PBR Team Series Championship, with the top two finishers in the regular season standings receiving a first-round bye. There is only one way a rider who is not on a team’s locked roster on Oct. 7 can join a new team: If a team places a protected roster rider on injured reserve and fills that spot by elevating a rider from its practice roster, There will be only select transactions allowed beginning on Oct. 7:

Teams can drop a rider from their protected roster and replace them with one of their own practice roster riders. A protected/practice roster rider can be placed on Injured Reserve if injured during a PBR Team Series event. If the rider placed on IR came from the protected roster, the team can only fill that protected roster spot by elevating a rider from the team’s practice roster. As noted above, if the rider placed on IR came from the protected roster, the team can only fill that protected roster spot by elevating a rider from the team’s practice roster. If these two rider transactions happen, resulting in an open roster spot on the practice roster, a team can sign a free agent. A rider can be taken off IR and placed on the protected roster if they have been on IR for the minimum of two events. A rider injured riding in the PBR Challenger Series Final in Las Vegas on Nov. 3 at South Point Hotel Casino & Spa can be replaced on a team’s event roster and/or starting lineup.

Professional Bull Riders’ Hall of Fame to be Exhibited at National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) and National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum today announced a new partnership creating the PBR Hall of Fame at the historic Oklahoma venue. As part of the new relationship, PBR will relocate the organization’s prestigious Heroes & Legends induction ceremony to Oklahoma City starting in 2023.

As PBR readies to embark on its 30th anniversary season, the plans to construct the organization’s Hall of Fame mark the first effort to collect and exhibit artifacts from throughout the sport’s storied history in a compelling and unified format.

The PBR Hall of Fame will be unveiled in Spring 2023 in the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s American Rodeo Gallery, with an expansion planned soon after as part of a major reconstruction and reimagining of the Gallery.

A fitting home for the living tribute to the PBR, the American Rodeo Gallery celebrates the history, people and events of the West’s original sport. Exhibitions in the space explore the sport’s evolution from turn of the century round-up competitions to high-stakes professional competition in the Museum’s colorful and dramatic interpretive gallery.

Beginning in September 2023, the PBR Heroes & Legends ceremony, previously held annually in Las Vegas to honor individuals who have made a substantial contribution to the sport of bull riding, will now be held at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, prior to the PBR Team Series event in Oklahoma City.

“From its beginning, our institution has honored and celebrated rodeo athletes, and we’re thrilled to expand on this tradition as the new permanent home of the PBR Hall of Fame,” said Natalie Shirley, National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum President & CEO. “PBR represents one of the fastest-growing sports in America, and we look forward to telling the story of their rich history and exciting future for generations to come.”

“As PBR readies to embark on our 30th anniversary season, we couldn’t think of a more fitting location and institution to house our first-ever Hall of Fame, paying tribute to the trailblazers and visionaries, iconic moments and events, that have been steppingstones along our path to revolutionizing bull riding into a sport now entertaining millions each year around the globe,” said Sean Gleason, PBR CEO and Commissioner. “Through the compelling storytelling, and hyper attention to detail, that is being integrated into every phase of the planning, the PBR Hall of Fame will bring to life our history like never before.”

The PBR Hall of Fame will include artifacts that pay homage to both the early days of the organization, as well as more modern initiatives, including the revolutionary PBR Team Series, which launched in July 2022.

Relics that museumgoers can expect to see when the PBR Hall of Fame opens include the PBR Bud Light Cup, the original PBR World Championship trophy that features the names of the first nine PBR World Champions, commemorative paintings of both legendary riders and bovine athletes, historical event posters, and more.

Following the initial unveil of the PBR Hall of Fame in Spring 2023, the PBR and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum will embark on the second phase of the newly launched partnership.

Anticipated to be completed in 2024-2025, the PBR Hall of Fame will expand to a 1,200 square-foot space within the remodeled American Rodeo Gallery.

The expanded installation will highlight the story of the American Cowboy, the founding of rodeo as a sport, and its evolution, including the founding of PBR by 20 legendary bull riders and the growth that PBR has brought to western sports on an international scale

Stay tuned to PBR.com and NationalCowboyMuseum.org for the latest information on the PBR Hall of Fame and 2023 Heroes & Legends ceremony.

Western Wanderings

a cowboy’s dreams

Some cowboys dream of women fair And whiskey by the case They’d rather have a life of ease Than giving cows the chase

Others like a smoke-filled room And an all-night poker game Where they just keep on winning And there is no loser’s shame

Some long for foreign adventure In an unknown far-away land Where big game hunting is easy And the “rough-it” life is grand

But this ole cowboy ain’t like that My head is screwed on right I just bought myself a nice little spread My future with cows is in sight

I dream of a cabin and windmill With a little stream runnin’ through A barn filled with hay for the horses And grass that will capture the dew

Someday perhaps a pretty wife And a couple of strong, tall sons too An abundance of firewood already cut A big garden with stuff to make stew

I call myself a cowboy And cowboyings what I do But it’s more about who I really am A cowboy through and through

Some argue that I am short-sighted And missing some of life’s pleasure But I’ll have it all on my very own land And my life will be a treasure

For I also dream of a woman fair And I take a drink now and then I gamble on whether winters and drought Will wipe out my ranch in the end

And though it’s not a foreign land This land I claim is my land I “rough it” through the good times and bad This cowboy life is sure grand!!!
