We all know that in the realm of bucking bulls it doesn't necessarily matter who your daddy is, because for every successful Houdini son, there will be dozens who don't make it, and there will also be bulls that come out of the blue and into the limelight, with no pedigree to brag about at all.
That said, here are a few lineage facts on some of this weekend's bulls:
- Very Smart Remedy is a Gunslinger grandson. (And was once known as Redbone.)
- Muddy Chicken is a MudFlap son and Mossy Oak Mudslinger grandson. (Thus the mud.)
- RMEF Gunpowder & Lead is a son of Yellow Jacket Jr.
- Chicken on a Chain's daddy was a bull named Scar, his mother is out of Mark Hart breeding. Beyond that, nothing listed.
- I'm a Gangster is a Houdini grandson on the dam side.
- Chance is a Copper Top son, and an A6 grandson on both the dam and sire side.
- Ronnie Rooster is a Rooster son. Rooster was a White Sports Coat and CP1 Kung Fu son and a full brother to Panhandle slim.
- Also in the house this weekend is I'm Back, one of the Panhandle Slim clones. Some would say that he is a White Sports Coat / CP1 Kung Fu son, too, in spite of his bio-genetic detour through the cloning lab.
It's a big old family tree out there in the bucking bull kingdom, and there's proven royalty in it as well as random genetic chance. And now there's the petri dish, too. Fun stuff.
