  • Tough Bucking for the Busiest Woman on the Rodeo Circuit by Lee Allen
    MEDIA CONTACTS: Perse Hooper, [email protected], 858-337-6404 Donna Hoyt, [email protected], 406-338-7684 Website: www.infr.org Tough Bucking for the Busiest Woman on the Rodeo Circuit by Lee Allen Charmaine “Bull Girl” Brannan, Chukchansi tribe, feeds her livestock in Lewiston, Montana. She is the only female livestock provider for the Indian National Finals Rodeo. Charmaine “Bull Girl” Brannan ranks at the top of her field -- she’s the only female livestock provider for the Indian National Finals Rodeo. “I’m insanely busy, the busiest woman in this business, ” she told ICTMN. At 5’4” tall, she often gets lost in the shadow of the 2,000-pound bulls she raises for rodeo. “I’ve been told that God protects children and fools, and I’m no longer a kid,” she said. “But a lot of things rely on me to stay healthy, and if I don’t show up with a hay bale, even in the middle of a Montana snowstorm, the livestock don’t eat that night. “I wouldn’t call my bulls ‘pets’ in the domestic sense of the word, but they’re like family to me; and they’ll live out their life with me. I feed my livestock every day by hand and I’m alone with them a lot of the time, so I talk to them frequently because they’re good company. I can find solace and a feeling of serenity when I’m with them. ” Brannan, a member of the Chukchansi tribe, was raised in a tiny California town and grew up in a 100-year-old cabin where her logging family was no stranger to hard work.
