And that was a short-lived career
The 1,400-pound bull that jumped the fences at an Oregon rodeo and charged into the crowd on June 8, injuring at least three people, will never compete in another professional bull riding event, the Sisters Rodeo Association told Nexstar’s KOIN on Tuesday.
Can't have the bull win decisively now, can we?
ReplyDeleteEspecially not in Oregon.
DeleteYou look at the bull and you look at the fence. It is a no brainer for that bull to jump a fence. It was long, lean and mean. I will take the ribeye.
ReplyDeleteActually, a bull jumping a fence is extremely rare. Not how I like my steak.
DeleteThe NBA, NFL and other sports could learn something from this!
ReplyDeleteGonna' need a bigger boat er, uh, fence.......
ReplyDeleteWent to the rodeo and a Running of the Bulls broke out.
Uh, maybe they should put in a 10 foot fence???
ReplyDeleteWas the bull awarded both ears and the tail?
ReplyDeleteThat was a painful as Hell rag doll though. Reaction time!
ReplyDeleteIt's a rodeo people. Sometimes stuff goes Western. Deal with it.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I have too many pleasant life associations with bull riding events, and one particular bull rider, and so I'm not even going to click through for the grisly details. Just I've seen bulls jump the gates at Cow Palace a bunch of times. From a standstill. And those were a great deal taller than any of the humans around them, taller than people on horseback. I'd believe ten feet tall. And for sure a bull isn't going to wait for permission to get out of the ring. They'll just run out an open gate, but will jump out if they have to stand at it more than a few seconds.
ReplyDeleteThat's why there's always overhead stuff in the pens/chutes where they get on them... or they'd be jumping out of those.
The bull cleared the fence, but did he remain intact?
ReplyDeleteOr are rodeo bulls already gender neutral? How modern.
Just a Scot honestly wanting to know.
I do know that top of the range really expensive studs can become worth their weight in burgers by trying to leap barbed wire fences.
Bulls are intact. Steers are not.
DeleteThe second article at the link says he'll be a stud service from now on, and bull semen can command top dollar, depending on the bull.
