good talk

You're trashy people. Red Rock the Bull, a Hereford-Brahma Mix (1976-1994) was born on a Ranch in Oregon and named for a nearby Redrock outcropping. Known as "the Legend" Red Rock competed for 9 Years on the National Rodeo Circuit Retiring at "11" Unridden. 308 Cowboys had Tried to Ride Red Rock for the 8-Count and All had Failed. The Closest Anyone Came was a Cowboy Reaching the 5-Count with Red Rock giving his Rankest (Strongest) Move, Crouching down as Low as he Could and Coming up Quickly to Buck the Rider Off. Bulls are Regarded as Being Stupid and Predictable while Red Rock was Smart and Only He Knew his Next Move. Other Bulls would Try to Gore a Fallen Cowboy but Red Rock didn't do This and was Admired by All on the Rodeo Circuit for his Ability and Kindness with his only Vanity Being to take a Triumphant Lap around the Arena after having Vanquished yet another Cowboy. Red Rock would give Little Children Gentle Rides on his Back on his Ranch in California but Felt Differently about a Cowboy going for the 8-Count. At the 1986 National Rodeo Finals Red Rock was the only Bull that Lane Frost couldn't Ride Preventing him from Being the only Bullrider to Ride all 10 Bulls at the Finals and Worse Yet Cost him the 1986 World Championship. In 1987 I was at a Fair in Las Vegas and Red Rock was Appearing There, I asked the Girl Attending Him if I Could Pet Him and She Said If He Let's You, He Didn't Say No. One Couldn't See this Guy who was Standing There Contentedly Munching Hay doing Anything Vigorous. A Small Bull, Probably any Bull has the Strength to Buck Off a Cowboy but the added Agility of a Small Bull would be More Important. Red Rock Retired to his Ranch in California and Lived a Wonderful Life dying from a Stroke at the Ripe Old Age of "18" on June 6, 1994.
