About Us
At Buckers Auction, we connect buyers with our unique marketing techniques, supporting the bucking bull industry while valuing every participant – the breeder, the buyer, the competitor, the partner, and the fan.
Our Story
In 2025, Phil Markoff and Tenneile Rice of TR Cattle offered their yearling crop to the public for the first time. They spent countless hours preparing each calf for its future, ensuring every detail was perfect.
Phil believed Tenneile could market the cattle herself on Facebook, but Tenneile wanted a professional touch. After consulting their trusted friend Sonny Barthold, who endorsed the idea, Tenneile took the challenge and launched a highly successful auction, marketing every calf with precision.
Beyond auctions, Tenneile works closely with the Carsen Perry Legacy Fund, running an annual benefit auction with Sonny to honor and sustain the legacy. As demand grew, it became clear a larger, more robust platform was needed – and thus, Buckers Auction was born.
Our Mission
To connect the best bulls and rodeo cows with the best owners—people who will give them the opportunity to become champions or produce champions.
Our Vision
Bucking bulls and rodeo cows are more than just animals; they’re family. We strive to place them in safe, loving environments where they can thrive and grow into champions. Buckers Auction is more than an auction—it’s a legacy in the making and your gateway to the next champion.
