Debra and Lenny Tubbs have carved out a legacy in Berlin of community service and involvement. When they have time to relax, they enjoy country music and attending bull riding contests.

They would go see the Bull Riding competitions at Mohegan Sun and follow the sport on TV and every year go to the Professional Bull Riders Finals in Las Vegas.

Last year the couple decided to buy a bull of their own. They joined the Exclusive Genetics family and get into the 2013 Million Dollar Bucking Bull Futurity (MDBBF) game. Pandora’s Box sired the bull they picked out of the cow Crystal Pistol. Where did the name come from? DAT is Debbi Tubbs' initials.

The Tubbs traveled to Texas to watch their bull and after the first day of the Memorial Day competition, their bull was in first place. The second day of the competition saw several stout competitors challenge, "I'm All DAT" but after 132 bulls had bucked, the Tubbs' bull was the winner of the competition. In return the Tubbs left Texas with a large first place check.
