PBR Bull from the UB Bucking Co, Smokestack, Passes Following Complications During Surgery

According to an official announcement by the UB Bucking Co, R62 Smokestack , a beloved PBR bull, has sadly passed away due to complications during surgery. This bull was one who had built for himself a solid reputation both on and off the dirt. During his PBR career, he had 66 outs across 61 events in 4 seasons.

Of those outs, he held a 57% buck-off percentage, only allowing 29 rides during his PBR career, as well as an impressive buck-off streak of 8 consecutive buck-offs. Smokestack was consistently earning himself high scores, his highest scoring career ride, a 45. 75, made at the Shootout PBR Teams Event in 2024.

This bull was a beast of an athlete with an average overall score of 44. 10 throughout his PBR career, as well as placing in the top 10 PBR bulls for 3 consecutive seasons. Of the rides he allowed, Smokestack was known for producing 90+ point rides to big names like Dalton Kasel, Daylon Swearingen, and John Crimber.

This impressive athlete was a great bull that produced amazing and memorable rides throughout his career, often appearing in Championship rounds. However, along with being a great athlete and challenge on the dirt, he was known better by those who cared for and raised him: the members of the UB Bucking Co. Smokestack had a big personality that matched his athleticism; one of a much more gentle nature than you might expect from a top-10 PBR bull.
