The CB Cowboys

Every cowboy who has ever climbed over a bucking chute or backed into a roping box knows of the Christensen Brothers. Both brothers and many of their bucking horses and bulls are Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame inductees. But not many know the fascinating story behind the family. With only the meager start of a couple of workhorses, Hank and Bobby Christensen established one of the biggest Pro Rodeo companies in the history of rodeo. And over an expanded period of time, the callused hands of the Christensen family put together one of the biggest cattle and sheep operations in the Northwest. Then, in the early 1980s, fate reared its ugly head and wiped out over fifty years of hard work and success achieved by the famous Christensens. This rollicking history bridges four generations of a legendary family with roots planted in the very soil that grew America.
