Bob with sons Bobby and Patrick headed for North Dakota in November of 1998 and Joe loaded it with 12 Berger Bulls and Rafter C was slowly starting in the bull business.
After several years of hauling bulls Rafter C started buying their own bulls to build their own herd.
As the boy's grew older, Bob's oldest son Bobby’s focus became training pleasure horses and went on to work for Brett Parrish of Parrish Quarter Horses in Pavo, Georgia as Assistant Trainer.
On the other hand, Patrick's focus is to build up the Rafter C Bucking Bull operation to include, training bulls, develop a strong breeding program and to promote them at Classic Events.
Bob and Patrick are now partners in the Bucking Bull Business. Bob has admitted that Patrick has a real talent for handling bulls ad spotting the right bull.
