Cow work

Just got back in from working Brady on the bulls again. Man, he was great! I´m more than pleased with his performance. Calm and all business. Rated great, didn´t over work them and pretty much held his own the whole session. Took one out at a time and cut one, worked another down the fence and circled. Ended each run roping the critter. No reata anymore so I used a 4strand poly ranch rope with a rawhide San Joaquin hondo. Great rope! First time I got consecutive Scoop loops to find their mark! One of the bulls has gotten real clever and is stickin like glue to the fence. Without help to set the shot up I figured I´d give it a try with a scoop-loop. Nailed it the first time and the second before he´d had enough. Brady did great there to. He got me close to shorten up and took pulls and trashes really well. I worked the rope alittle better this time and the poly slipps a whole lot easier than the reata.

The three bulls we´ve got here have been great for us. One is a little sour but great to rope as he moves slow but is pretty easy to manipulate and set up for a shot. The smallest one is cat-quick and really herd bound and alway´s challanges Brady but still respects him. Great to cut and box on. The third and largest is also decent to cut but great down the fence. Runs straight and true and also has enough respect to turn easy enough.
