CULLEN TELFER CONTINUED

Chucks Boy, a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo bull, was an ide al match up for Telfer in a field filled with many of PRCA’s top bull riders. “This is a blessing,” Telfer said to Cowboy Channel. “This is actually my second time winning this event. Salinas has treated me really well over the past few years, and I’m thankful to be here.” In 2023, Telfer split the win at the California Rodeo Salinas “Big Week Bull Riding” XBulls with an 87-point ride on Corey & Lange Rodeo’s Stand By Me. He shared the championship with Denton Fugate. The California Rodeo Salinas “Big Week Bull Riding” has become one of the premier standalone bull riding events on the PRORODEO schedule, drawing a packed crowd before the start of the California Rodeo Salinas. An estimated crowd of 15,000 spectators greeted the riders in Salinas. “This is awesome,” Telfer said. “It’s one of the reasons we all look forward to coming to Salinas. A great crowd. Pretty good weather can be a little chilly sometimes, but, yeah, great bulls. Great event. Yeah, just beyond thankful.”
