Alex Naccarato’s All In definitely has it all: Bloodlines, bucking ability and big numbers. “He came out of an Oscar’s Velvet cow. As far as his daddy — who knows? We put a bunch of bulls on our cows all the time, and there is always one jumping the fence anyway,” explained Naccarato. “Stuff happens!”

In this case, very good stuff has happened.

The PBR short-go bull was one of PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert’s top 10 bull picks for 2007 heading into Las Vegas. And at just 5 years of age, All In should have a long and bright future. He recently took Paulo Crimber to a 90.5 score in the short go in Anaheim, Calif. to secure the event win. With the PBR’s new bull draft system, Crimber was able to choose the bull he wanted to ride in the short go. “I picked him because I knew if I rode him, I could be 90-points plus,” said the champion. “But he is not easy to ride! Toward the end, he tried to run me off the end of my bull rope, but I finished the ride. He is a solid bucker that you want to get, if you want to win an event — but you have to stay on!” Mused Naccarato, “These Brazilians do pull a tight rope, but All In can take it. He’s handled it before.”

Other notable PBR cowboys who have been matched up with the California bull include Sean Willingham, Greg Potter, Kasey Hayes, Brendon Clark and Ednei Caminhas. But in the past two years, besides Crimber, only Justin McBride was able to make it to the whistle on All In. McBride also earned a 90.5 for his ride, which took place in 2007 at the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series event in Sacramento.

All In was first bucked as a 3-year-old and, from that moment on, Naccarato knew he had a star. “He bucked like he bucks now that very first time! He’s never weakened, he bucked like that every time. He was just one of those where you didn’t have to wait any time on. From the start, it is just what he liked to do.” Naccarato doesn’t buck any of his bulls before age 3, but odds are good that All In had his competitive spirit since he first hit the ground.
