Stock contractors and bull riders alike should be taking a look at L.J. Jenkins Bullriding Tour.

Hosted at Resorts World Las Vegas Dec. 11 and 12, Jenkins plans to buck over 50 bulls each day starting at 1 p.m. in the Mattress Firm Arena.

Bucking 25 bull teams each day there is $50,000 on the line for the top contractor on the average of two bulls.

Riders have an impressive incentive as well, with $10,000 added to the pot. Riders can enter twice per day, just not for the same team.

Jenkins also brings an impressive crew to the arena, Mike Driver, Jonathon Osten and Tanner Zarnetski are in charge of cowboy protection, just days after the Bull Fighters Only event held in the same arena.

Entertainment stays close to home as well, with LJ's big brother Dustin "The Jester" Jenkins is making a return appearance as the premier funny man.

Professional announcer Brandon Wren is making his third annual appearance, and will be accompanied by pro bullrider Tyler Taylor.

In 2022 the John Crimber took home first an second place with an impressive 93 and 91.5-point rides. Other riders entered were PBR World Champions Jess Lockwood and Silvano Alves.

Last year 23 out of 48 bulls were covered, giving the contractors a better chance at placing in the average. With the entries full daysheets are expected to be posted via Facebook. This event is free for the public to attend.
