Stafford was born to parents Alfred Percival Bullen and Lilian Bullen, who in 1920 founded Bullen's Circus. Stafford's circus career began at four. Stafford travelled the country as a child with the circus. He had a tutor and was an above average student, yet his formal education ceased at age fourteen.
Stafford, along with his brother Ken Bullen, ran the family business after their mother died in 1965. In 1968 they opened the African Lion Safari. It attracted over two hundred thousand visitors annually. In 1969 Bullen's Animal World opened at Wallacia, New South Wales.
