Muley count:
Eight. The northwest usually brings them out, because it’s Katich country, and Chad Berger has quite a few in his herd, too. When one big muley with a hump came out of the chute, I knew he was a Katich-bred bull before I even checked. He was K31 Bearcat, and he got the best of Valdiron.

Pedigrees:
Usually in the course of an event, I notice a few bulls I want to know more about. Here are two:
414 Water Canal (Julio Moreno) is a Bring It son, a Houdini grandson (sire side) and a Whitewater grandson (dam side), all of which makes him a great-grandson of both White Sports Coat and Kish’s Wolfman.
25/5 Flip Side (Robinson/Cappello) is a Bone Collector son, out of Page 108/020, a Roughwater daughter. Another Bone Collector son: 05 Bones.
