Dang... had three bulls have the worst days of their lives... (hey... they oughta name a soap opera that) and three or four that maybe juicier than usual.   Hasn’t been that many years ago that these bulls woulda been in the semi rank pen.  Just shows how much the quality and depth bars have been raised since bull riding got hot.   Lots of good bulls out there. Judges couldn’t as a group like the same bulls.   

Judges Order:  Knowles    Overstreet    Davis    Horton

Cory Check         69    Titanic      Catelina 85  22-19-20-21+

Black White bull bucked good.... stronger than the other 85’s... maybe my first placer--had Cory in there then tried to get him to the outside.     A little flat for some of the judges.

Rob Bell      581  Lisa’s Pet    Classic       85  21-21-20-21++

Went aways but bucked good--not his best day, though.    Nice ride though. 

 Robey Condra          17   Panda       Broken Arrow/Donna Vold    85  21--21-21-21

Turned back and stayed... probably coulda have been the round. 

Greg Potter             40   Exodus            Harper/Morgan/Auger     84  20-21-21-20+

Black bull was pretty juicy then jumped out of it.   Still was bucking though.   Cost him the round.

Philip Elkins           J15     Johnny West            Bailey                    83  20-20-20-20

First time I’ve ever seen this bull not spin.    Still hard to ride but I sure couldn’t 20’ed him. Wonder if they missed the flank.   Riding good.

Jessie Bail           381   Brushpopper              Kesler                    80  20-19-20-20

Bull started good then gave up and took off.   Pulled Kagan’s rope, too.  

Josh O’Byrne     500    Skoal’s Wrangler      Burns     79  19-19-18-20

I got to wondering about the flank on this bull too.  Usually they use a jerk flank.I’ll have to watch the tape to see if they didn’t this time.    Hal wasn’t here to flank. If I’m judging this bull was a 15 with a reride option.   Hard to stay on but didn’t buck. Looked lost... wild and lost...  mean and lost.

Shane Drury       906  Young Gun                       Pinz                    24-24-24-25   (1-2 sec)

Not sure anyone coulda got this bull started.   By far the rankest bull out so far... but it all happened when the gate cracked.   Don’t think he coulda kept that up very long.   This is a MEGABUCKS calf.    Better be buying his semen.  

Danell Tipton      542  Free Loader Growney/Kish       23-22-23-24   2.9

Outstanding day for this bull.  Blew-up and turned back.  

Kagan Sirett       573   Gold Coast Gambler  Growney/Kish   22-22-22-22  (3-4)

Little bull really got it... Kagan slapped him the first round.

Cody Hancock     -10       Baracuda      Broken Arrow/Thomas Taylor      23-21-22-21   3.7   

Good bull.  Cody pulled his rope twice... looked to me like it still wasn’t in the middle. Went away from his hand... he dropped over in there... arm got straight.... had to come back out--bucked him off.

Lee Akin            L41   White Line Fever           Powder River (Franzen )     22-21-22-21  3.8  

Fatso is deceptive.   Always shifting gears... sometimes faster... sometimes slowing down.

Tyler Fowler       2  Captain Hook                   Broken Arrow/Thomas Taylor     22-21-22-23  3.9

Little bull turned back then started catching gears.  Tyler had to pull a foot... ended up standing on his feet.   Fowler has had a 103 degree temperature since he got here.   Pretty sick boy.

Dan Wolfe         152  Undertaker      Andrews           23-21-22-21  2.1

Bull really got in the air and had more speed than usual.   Dan never got him started.        

Fred Boettcher      U19  Passport          Franklin       21-22-22-22  4.0

Bull was rearing and fading while turning back.   Almost impossible to keep getting there is they are going away from your hand.

Best Bull Buckle:   906   Young Gun              Pinz
