Koby Ruff

A native of Belgrade, Montana, Koby Ruff got interested in fighting bulls while growing up around Al Sandvold. Sandvold fought bulls for 20 plus years, was a Montana Circuit Finals Bullfighter multiple times and qualified for the Wrangler Bullfights in 2000. Sandvold is now a barber in Belgrade, and while cutting Ruff’s hair, convinced him to try bullfighting at his school in North Dakota with Nate Jestes. Ruff is a member of the PRCA and has fought bulls for PRCA sanctioned rodeos and the PBR for 3 years. In that time, he’s worked Rodeo Rapid City, the historic Cowtown Coliseum Rodeo in Fort Worth, TX, Livingston's 4th of July Rodeo, and the Bozeman Stampede. He’s qualified for the Bullfighters Only World Finals twice. When not fighting bulls, Ruff teaches middle school health and PE.
