BODACIOUS Receives the 2019 BRAND OF HONOR

[@colb9916]

That they Sent him to his rest standing up, is probly the most honourable act ever for a champion bull. And to have one of his jump chutes as a headstone says massive amounts about the love the industry had for him.

[@wasidanatsali6374]

It would’ve been cool if they’d had him stuffed/mounted.

[@TheStockwell]

Not a big deal, but no. He didn't own his own jump chutes and didn't have one as a headstone. In 2004, The Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show had a *miniature* bucking chute manufactured and gave it to his owner for Bodacious' grave. 🐂

[@colb9916]

@@TheStockwell Ahh, ok. I misunderstood . I thought they sent a chute he had bucked out of regular to use as his headstone.

[@lorinavrodtzke8932]

@@TheStockwell did you not watch the video? Bo's owner literally said it is the gate that he came out of. Not a miniature. Sorry, I believe the owner not you.

[@develyntwocentshenderson5739]

I had the pleasure of watching B on tv a lot of times. I liked that bull.

[@thegriffin88]

Bodacious was a bull that loved the sport just as much as the riders did.

[@redoregan]

He didn't. That was what set him apart. Bushwacker was an athlete who probably enjoyed it. Plenty of bulls do. Bodacious hated being ridden. His own owners and handlers said so. That's what made him great. "at a rodeo outside Okeene, Oklahoma, a rookie got his hand caught in his bull rope at the top of the bull's back. When the rider started flailing around the side of the bull, trying to dislodge his hand, Bodacious panicked. The bull spun, jumped, and kicked, trying to get free of the rider. He kicked so high he almost flipped over. "By the time the boy pulled free, the bull had nearly gone over the fence". "After that, he had a goal: airmail those cowboys." According to Sumner, something happened to Bodacious after that, and he decided "he didn't want anybody on him or near him".

[@jamesreagle245]

Anyone who gives a 100 percent at what they do deserves to be admired. Bodacious always gave that.

Great comment man,so true

[@isitoveryet9525]

Meh….i wouldn’t say anyone. I mean, plenty of people do very bad things. We don’t need people out here admiring serial killers bc they gave it 100% 😬

I will never forget Bodacious, he was the one who got me hooked on Bull riding. He was a sight to see and a joy to watch. He absolutely earned my vote for the most entertaining and high flying bull I've ever seen. He was massive! Spit flying, head and chin splitting, beautiful beast of a bull. My heart warmed when they said they buried him standing up. A loving tribute to his legacy.

It's a honor to see those Cowboys who rode Bodacious.

[@GarsonProduction]

They had a TV documentery on Swedish TV channels about this bull back in the 90s, way before the internet became main stream for homes. Remember watching it as a kid and I still remembered this bull to this day. Rest well Bodacious.

[@afrog2666]

Used to* Unless you still hear it lol

[@illinidave]

yes and he was never a bull that went after a downed rider, he was as professional as a bull can be after the rider was off he would just kinda walk away not try to stomp them

[@user-he9ew6sn9g]

No shit, I agree…

[@MonumentToSin]

He knew it was a competition and he was gonna win it every time.

[@zacharyradford5552]

True he’d take a victory lap the go through the gate. Never chased a cowboy or a bull fighter. When he was ridden by Tuff he knew that wasn’t supposed to happen so he started to do the jerk down that messed up Tuff the next time.

[@Cricket-zp6wi]

I used to work at the fuel desk of a truck stop. Many of the Drivers were former bull riders. One of them admitted to have ridden Bodacious once. His ride lasted all of FOUR seconds. Kudos to both!

4 seconds on bodacious is a pretty good effort

I’m a pompous ass and Mr. GQ from Chicago. But I saw a story on Bodacious via George Michael sports in the 90’s. Didn’t know the PBR existed. But was very much intrigued about the unridable yellow bull. So thanks to Bodacious I started watching PBR. Once PBR retired him I retired too. PBR let me know when another Bodacious comes around. If that’s even possible.

[@jamescheff3160]

Sammy Andrew's and bob tallman I believe set up the registry for bull bloodline. So what we are seeing today are bulls that are 100% berd to buck. This seems to have improved the overall quality of bulls exponentially. Bodacious was one of if not the first sire in the registry I believe if it wasnt him then it was probably sammy Andrew's other great bull skat cat. This registry system and the attention he brought to the pbr made bodacious maybe the most important bull ever.

[@ericksonjustinAK]

I grew up in Wyoming. I'm not a cowboy but have been to a handful of rodeos here and there. I never got to see full on bull riding. Does a bull get an idea that the crowd is there to see him? I did see some bronc riding, and those broncs seemed to not notice or react to the crowd that much. At least I didn't remember that. Bulls seem different to me. The ones that have been ridden a few time seem to know they are a badass. Horses definitely can have a swagger too, but bulls seem to relish the rush and the challenge and have a strut for the crowd, but I might be imagining that.
