Bubba Dunn

When the co-founder and longtime livestock director phoned Dunn with the news of his induction into the Ring of Honor, Dunn, 44, had no idea what the call was about when he answered. “I was floored there for a second,” Dunn said. “I talk to Cody, but not very often and I thought he was calling to talk about some bulls. He said, ‘I just got off a conference call and me and the guys’ ― I don’t know who the guys are anymore ― and he said, ‘We decided we’re going to give a ring to both you and Chris at the same time.’ “I said, ‘Well, great.'” “Being inducted into the Ring of Honor with him just makes it a little more special,” said Shivers, 34, who later added, “I think that should be pretty special for the state of Louisiana. We were two guys that represented the state pretty well. … We’re pretty good people and pretty good bull riders too and that’s something that I’m proud of.”2012
