Canadian-Bred Bull "Nobody" Making Noise on PBR’s Biggest Stage

AIRDRIE, Alta. – While Canada does not currently have a rider ranked inside the world’s Top 40, a Canadian-raised bucking bull is putting up huge numbers week after week.

Gene Owen’s Nobody traces his roots back to Coronation, Alberta, where he was bred and raised by Darin Eno’s Eno Bucking Bulls.

Not only does Nobody hail from Canada, but his bloodlines connect him to one of PBR’s most famous bulls— Unabomber, the 2008 PBR Rookie Bull of the World and Eno’s first major success story.

Today, Nobody is making waves in PBR’s premier series, consistently earning high marks from the judges.

His numbers may not yet rival Man Hater, Owen’s top-performing bull who won the 2024 YETI PBR World Championship and has a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the 2025 race, but Nobody is putting up the kind of scores that help riders win events—something that makes Eno proud.

“I raised him. He was out of a Unabomber cow and a bull that I had who was injured when he was young,” Eno said. “He was ranch-raised—that’s why I had a hard time selling him.”

Selling Nobody wasn’t initially in the cards. Unlike many young bucking bulls, who are dummy bucked as 2-year-olds, Nobody wasn’t tested until he was 3 years old—a much later start than most.

“I didn’t do much with him. I never bucked him until he was three,” Eno said. “I dummy-bucked him a couple of times, once each way. The first trip looked good, but he was lost—blowing in the air but not spinning. We switched sides, and he turned back and was just good.”

After that early test, Nobody was turned out to pasture, getting only limited exposure until his 4-year-old season, when he was bucked again with the dummy and mannequin.

“He was good, but stumbled a bit leaving,” Eno recalled. “But he was kicking and spinning, and he stood well in the box, so we decided to take him to the Marwayne PBR.”

At just his second PBR event in Cluny, Alberta, Nobody was marked 45 points after tossing Tyler Craig in just 3.22 seconds.

At that moment, Eno realized he had something special on his hands.

After the event, Eno’s son, Tanner, a PBR Canada competitor, asked if he should post a video of Nobody’s performance. The answer was yes, and soon after, PBR stock contractor Blake Sharp took notice.

Following two impressive trips at the Cody Snyder Charity Bullbustin’ in Calgary, where Nobody bucked off Tim Lipsett twice, marked 43 and 44 points respectively, word started to spread.

After Calgary, PBR Livestock Director, and fellow Canadian, Riley Gagnon (called Eno, telling him that Nobody needed to be in the United States.

“I told him he was still pretty fresh—there’s a big change going down to those riders,” Eno said. “Nothing against Canadian bull riders, but now you’re up against the Top 35 in the world. It’s a different atmosphere.”

A short time later, Wil Hoggs Bucking Bulls’ Ty Streeter called, letting Eno know that Owen was looking at bringing in some new Canadian bulls.

“I want my bulls to go places where they’ll be taken care of—not somewhere they’re just bucking the guts out of them,” Eno said. “I phoned Gene, sent him some videos, and within two weeks and a 15-minute phone call, I was lining up a vet to test him for the trip south.

“I would have liked to keep him, for sure.”

Eno is no stranger to sending bulls stateside, and while it’s always tough to let go, he knows Nobody is exactly where he needs to be.

“A bull of that calibre wouldn’t get nearly as many opportunities to shine in Canada as he does in the year-round PBR presence in the U.S.,” Eno said.

“He needs to be where he can shine. Like anything—your kids, your bucking bulls—they need to go where they can perform at their best.”

The fact that Nobody is a direct descendant of Unabomber makes watching his success in PBR’s biggest events even more meaningful.

“It’s exciting. It means more when you raised them—you had his granddad, his mom. It’s personal,” Eno said.

“I’m happier than hell that he’s where he needs to be. After he was 46.25 points in St. Louis, bucking off Dalton Kasel, Gene called me. I told him, ‘I don’t think I sold him for enough.’ Gene just laughed and said, ‘That’s what I thought you’d say.’

“If I sell you a bull, I want him to be the best he can be. If I sell a bull because he wasn’t bucking for me, and he starts bucking for you, I’m happy. I want all my bulls to do well.”

Nobody has been showing flashes of Unabomber’s abilities, but Eno believes the now 6-year-old is even more explosive.

“This bull has a lot more air—he hangs up there long,” Eno said. “Unabomber cracked over and kicked hard. This bull does that too—but with two more feet in the air.

“I think he’s still learning. He’s there, but he’s only got 14 trips so far.”

While a YETI PBR World Championship title isn’t likely in 2025, Eno thinks it could be in the conversation in the future.

“I don’t know what I’d say if it happened—I can’t explain what I’d feel,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll do it this year, especially with the scores Man Hater is putting up,” he laughed.

“I told Gene if Nobody ever won Bull of the Event, I just want a set of the spurs they give out for that. I’d love to put them on my mantle and look back at how far we’ve come.”

As for the bull’s name, Nobody, Eno says there were a few influences, but one stood out—a 2021 action film starring Bob Odenkirk.

“There’s a movie called Nobody—if you watch it, the main character is a badass,” Eno said.

“He’s a former assassin trying to live a strait-laced life as a dad, but nobody knows his real background. Then someone robs his house, or steals something from his daughter, and he goes and deals with it.”

“When they ask him, ‘Who are you?’ he just says, Nobody.”

“Special forces type stuff—where they clean things up and disappear. They’re Nobody.”
