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.
