Bulls That Have WRECKED The Most Riders: Top 3 Buck-Off Streaks Right Now
In the world of professional bull riding, the spotlight often shines on the cowboys—the gritty, fearless athletes who hang on for dear life. But any rider will tell you the truth: they are only half of the equation. The other half is 1,800 pounds of raw, explosive power. They are the superstar animal athletes of the PBR: the bucking bulls.
While a cowboy chases a score, these bulls are building a legacy. Their currency? Buck-offs. A long buck-off streak isn’t just a number; it’s a reputation. It’s a declaration of dominance, a warning to every rider who dares to nod their head.
As we look at the landscape of the 2019 season, a few names have risen above the rest, becoming the most feared and respected animal athletes in the sport. These are the bulls with the most untouchable streaks right now.
#3. Smooth Operator: The World Champion’s Reign
Owner: Chad Berger Bucking Bulls 2019 Premier Series Buck-Off Streak: 28
He’s not the flashiest bull in the pen, but he might just be the smartest. Smooth Operator is a seasoned veteran who has perfected the art of unseating the world’s best. His style is pure business—he combines incredible athleticism with a cunning that seems almost human.
He doesn’t rely on one big move. Instead, he explodes out of the chute with a mix of whip, kick, and unpredictable direction changes. Just when a rider thinks they have him figured out, he’ll drop a shoulder and spin back, sending them to the dirt before they even know what happened. His 28-consecutive buck-off streak on the premier “Unleash The Beast” tour this year wasn’t just impressive; it was the foundation for his crowning achievement: the 2019 PBR World Champion Bull title. He didn’t just buck guys off; he beat the best of the best on the biggest stage, earning his place in history.
#2. Fearless: Living Up to the Name
Owner: D&H Cattle Co./Buck 2019 Buck-Off Streak: 31
If you could bottle intimidation, it would be named Fearless. This bull is pure, unadulterated power. When the chute gate cracks open, Fearless doesn’t just buck—he detonates. He’s known for a massive first jump that launches riders back, immediately putting them in a hole they can’t climb out of.
What makes him so difficult is his raw strength and consistency. He has the size and muscle to overpower riders, and he never takes a trip off. Every single time, he brings his A-game. A streak of 31 riders sent to the dirt is a testament to his dominance. Cowboys know that drawing Fearless means they’re in for a street fight, and more often than not, the bull wins. He is aptly named, because it takes a truly fearless rider to even consider conquering him.
#1. Heartbreak Kid: The Untouchable Titan
Owner: D&H Cattle Co. 2019 Buck-Off Streak: 38
There are dominant bulls, and then there is Heartbreak Kid. Standing alone at the top, this formidable athlete has become the gatekeeper of the 8-second mark. With an incredible streak of 38 consecutive buck-offs across all levels of PBR competition, he has earned the title of the most untouchable bull going today.
Heartbreak Kid’s name says it all. He has broken the hearts of countless cowboys looking for a big score and a moment of glory. His signature move is a colossal leap out of the chute, followed by a powerful, churning spin that is nearly impossible to counter. He is the complete package: he has the power, the speed, and the agility. He doesn’t just buck; he performs with an intensity that leaves crowds and riders in awe. To make the whistle on Heartbreak Kid in 2019 would not just be a qualified ride; it would be a legendary moment.
More Than Just Animals
These bulls are elite athletes, bred for their power and drive to buck. Their streaks are a result of incredible genetics, top-tier care, and an indomitable spirit. While cowboys chase fame and gold buckles, these bulls are building legacies of their own, one spectacular buck-off at a time. The question isn’t if their streaks will be broken, but who will be the next legendary rider to conquer the unconquerable?
