I was out on a deer lease in North Texas looking for a place to set up. I was in one field and standing next to the fence in the next field was a brama bull. As I was looking down into a draw leading to a stock tank I heard a strange oofing sound behind me, I turned and that the bull had jumped the fence and was giving me the stinkeye. I made quick time getting into the scrub oak and out of sight. I’ve known to many people hurt working cows

Oh my Gosh...what a moron. Bull riding is dangerous. The object is to ride a bull for 8 seconds, while the bull is TRYING TO get you off him.

Next time, try a mechanical bull at a country bar...more your speed.

I knew a guy who was hurt by a dairy cow. Next time he encountered this beast he brained it with an iron bar. This must have lowered its IQ a few points.

It was only false advertising if he was told it was a kitten or some other cute little creature.
Since he knew it was as bull, no dice.

Apparently he DIDN’T read those papers he signed at the start of bullriding school.

One thing for sure, this bull-rider has the proper I.Q.

"I knew a guy who was hurt by a dairy cow. Next time he encountered this beast he brained it with an iron bar. This must have lowered its IQ a few points."

One morning an traveling tractor salesman found a farmer in his barn preparing to milk a cow. The farmer told the salesman to give him his pitch as he worked.

The cow didn't want to go into the milking stall so the farmer put a rope around her neck and tied her off while telling the salesman he could see no need for a tractor.

Next as the farmer was setting down on his stool the cow stepped on his foot so he tied that foot to the stall while telling the salesman he had no place to keep a tractor.

Again as the farmer sat down the cow kicked the bucket with her other foot so the he tied that foot to the other side of the stall while telling the salesman a tractors fuel would cost to much.

So as the farmer sat down ounce more she walloped him with her tail by now the farmer was fairly mad at this cow so he put the stool behind the cow grabbed a piece of bailing wire stood on the stool and was tying the cows tail to a rafter and telling the salesman he didn't want no tractor.

Just then the farms beautiful redheaded wife stepped up and said "What in the hell are you doing!".

The surprised farmer looked over his shoulder at her then back at the salesman and said "I'll buy any damn tractor you've got just as long as you tell her the truth".

You've just got to be smarter than the critter your dealing with,

Risk-free rodeo will arrive about the same time as the NFFL (National Flag Football League.)

The animal rights freakazoids managed to get our local rodeo cancelled this year.

Cruelty my posterior.

I have a friend whose brother was a high
school ag teacher (as was my own dad). The
brother got into a tight pen with a huge
Holstein bull. The funeral was attended by
over one thousand people.
