Rowe Mini Buckers
Michigan
Rowe Mini Buckers is a family-run mini bull farm based in Rodney, MI. Though lifelong members of the rodeo world, the Rowe family began their journey with mini bulls just five years ago and officially launched Rowe Mini Buckers in 2020. Their passion for developing great youth stock started with Maverick, a Texas Longhorn/Dexter cross, and continued with Coyote, Ice Man, Corkscrew, and Rocket. Every bull is treated like part of the family, and it shows in the way kids connect with them. Rowe Mini Buckers is dedicated to providing the perfect stock for young riders to learn, grow, and succeed.
