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.

  • Tuff Hedeman
    TUFF HEDEMAN TUFF HEDEMAN Before he even started school, Richard Neale “Tuff” Hedeman earned (literally) the nickname that would stick with him for life. According to Tuff, Tater Decker, a horse trainer and friend of the Hedeman family, began to call him “Tough Nut” after he slammed the boy‟s hand in the door of his pick-up. As the story goes, young Tuff never shed the first tear. “I was about 4 or 5 years old,” remembers Hedeman, “when he slammed my hand in the door. He nicknamed me „Tough Nut‟ and it was later shortened to Tuff.” So began the life of a legend. Hedeman grew up on the racetracks of west Texas, but quickly realized his true calling; the rodeo. As a boy, he won many junior rodeos and, in 1980, took the New Mexico High School Rodeo Bull Riding and All Around titles. His success continued the following year, when he was awarded the Team Roping and All Around titles. Upon graduation, Tuff attended Sul Ross State University, where he was a member of the rodeo team, competing in bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling and, of course, bull riding. In 1983, Tuff turned pro and filled out his PRCA permit as a bronc rider. He developed a reputation for riding bulls that had never been ridden, with an all-or-nothing style that amazed rodeo fans. He often traveled with his fellow bull riders (and close friends) Lane Frost, Cody Lambert, Jim Sharp, Clint Branger and Ty Murray, to save on travel expenses. Over his career, he would qualify for 11 NFRs, winning two NFR titles.

That mission began in 1946 and continues today,” says Rich Bender, president of Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo board of directors. The Reno Rodeo has been produced by hundreds of community volunteers since 1919. In 1986, the Reno Rodeo Foundation was incorporated as a private foundation to formalize the rodeo’s tradition of giving a portion of the event’s annual net proceeds back to the residents of northern Nevada. These proceeds are allocated through scholarships, grants and endowments. Hundreds of RODEO thousands of dollars have been distributed in educational scholarships to Nevada colleges and universities, and a comparable amount goes to community-funded grants to nonprofit ROAD TRIP organizations. It also supports children with special needs, ranging from the physical to the HE AMERICAN RODEO Ranch Cowboys Foundation, which financial. The portion of the net proceeds from celebrates cowboy heritage with provides assistance to working ranch the Reno Rodeo Association to the Reno Rodeo exciting competition and cowboys and their immediate families Foundation ranges from $150,000 to $265,000 entertainment.
