Bloyd Bucking Bulls started in Lance’s mind back when he was still
riding bulls in the PRCA and living in
Texas.
When he first heard about Buckers Inc., he called Bob Tallman and
got a price sheet for semen straws.
At that time, he was in college and was spending all of his
money on entry fees, food, hotels, gas and a little on tuition and
books. There was none
left for buying any semen straws or cattle.
He still has that original Buckers Inc. price sheet today.
If he had only known what we all know now.
Lance
had to wait until life settled down a bit for his dream to become a
realization. While on
the rodeo trail Lance met his future wife.
In December ’02 Alison graduated
Oklahoma
State
University
with a double major in
Animal Science/Ag Education and they married in July ’03.
The newlyweds settled in the small town of
Carney,
Oklahoma
in a house on 5 acres. For several months they spent their time
settling in, fixing up their home and building pipe and cable fence
in preparation for the purchase of some cattle.
Finally in November of ’03 they purchased the first of their
true rodeo bred cattle, #22 Winchester Girl; a daughter of #270
Kish’s
Winchester.
 They continued buying cattle and quickly outgrew their acreage.
In March ‘05 they moved just 3 miles down the road to a
bigger home and more
land. The expansion happened
just in time; in December ‘05 they welcomed into the world their
son, Lane Robert.
They now have a herd of 15 females, with 6-10 bulls.
With the arrival of their ‘07 calf crop they plan to try the
futurities in ‘09 with some of their #524 Hard Candy calves.
They also have high hopes for #22
Winchester
Girl’s first calf, #111
Winchester’s
Image, as a Classic bull.
Currently
they are in the process of finishing their training facility where
they plan on training young bulls and having a weekly
jackpot/practice bull ridings. Their goals for the future are to
raise quality rodeo livestock that can compete with the great stock
of today, provide bulls for the major bull riding associations and
try to maybe even make some money.
