While some ABBI bull contenders and their owners and handlers are all set and ready for Vegas, others are workin' hard to make last minute changes and adjustments. Handlers are putting the final finish on their bulls via diets, excercise regiments and last minute training.
Twisted Aces from Boyd-Floyd/Conat had an exceptional out last night. Maybe too exceptional in that his rider did not last long enough. He may be getting one more out over the next week to continue working on his start. Meanwhile, there are several other bulls hitting the heavy exercise to give them an extra boost.
There are also a few other bull owners experimenting with delivery. It is pretty amazing when you have several bulls that are just as effective out either delivery. That says a lot for their athletic abilities. There are people who can switch hands easily enough, but when we start looking at what these bulls are capable of in either lead and in both directions it is pretty impressive.
I am amazed when watching video of Tom Teague's Deja Blu. He's been out both deliveries and honestly it is hard to say which delivery he is better in. He is really something. Everytime he's out he turns back one way, then changes it up and turns back the other way. He is pretty handy with himself and has exceptional body awareness. Better yet, he prevents himself from getting fatigued by using this method, so he's smart too!
This is the most exciting time of the bull year. So much is happening and so much is up in the air. You can cut the anticipation with a knife! At the end of the day, I just have to sit back and marvel at how much breeders have accomplished in such a short amount of time. Our bulls are definately not just bovines....they are tremendous athletes!
