Featured Bull Calf: "Whodoo Child"


This Bob Wilfong calf is a full brother to the famed +123 Voodoo Child, which makes him a son of Houdini and the renowned Wilfong BW51 cow.  When they sold BW51 last year, the Wilfongs retained eight embryos, one of which became this calf.  The cow you see in the photograph is his recip mom.

Voodoo Child, contender for PBR Bucking Bull of the Year in 2010, is being retired this year with a career buckoff percentage of 94.85.  He was ridden only five times in 54 Built Ford Tough outs.

And speaking of siblings, Voodoo Child's half-sister made an appearance here last year with this video of her birth.  This is what she looks like now:
