Herring Theodore Friend Committee Member, R. Neil Hooper Head of Department, Gary R. Acuff December 2008 Major Subject: Animal Science iii ABSTRACT Evaluation of Traits Associated with Bucking Bull Performance and Behavior. (December 2008) Natasha Elizabeth Romero, B.S., Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Andy D. Herring Dr. Theodore Friend Video and industry data were used to assess the inter-relationships of aggression, delivery, coat color, year of birth, number of outs, buckoff percent and score in rodeo bulls. An evaluation of laterality based on observations of how the individual animals were loaded into chutes at 11 bull riding events showed 63% left-handed delivery and 37% right-handed delivery across all observations (n = 525). There was a similar distribution for aggressiveness (based on whether or not the bull charged after the rider dismounted) with 64% of bulls being non-aggressive and 36% of bulls being aggressive. Significant linear relationships existed between score and number of outs and score and buckoff percentage indicating that experience impacted performance.
