Anyone have any Corriente bulls they use for bucking stock? The Corriente's are well known for ropin' steers, but I don't run across many buckers. I have one that bucks like somethin' else. Did I get lucky?
Corriente as performance bucking stock?

The smallest bucking bulls are going 1100-1200 lbs. Most Corriente bulls are 800-1000 lbs, so I don't see them making much of a bucking bull except for High Scool or Youth Rodeos.

He does look nice compared to other Cor. bulls I've seen, his legs don't look big enough to carry him though. IMO

He's definitely the exception if weighs a ton. I had one here until this last week that probably weighed 775 and was built as nice as yours. About 30 calves he sired this year were all born here and most were in the 35-40 lb range. Great little bull for young heifers. If he bucks well for you and has that much size, then take him to a non-santioned futurity event!

I'll admit, I arrived at the one ton figure by using the circumference x circumference x length / 300 formula, and my measurements weren't very precise (he ain't THAT docile <grin>). So it's probably a bit inflated.
In my visual estimation and comparing to cattle I've seen on scales, he's probably closer to 1700 lbs.
I'd like to find a Corriente cow of large build and see what turns out.

Mike, are the two pictures of the same bull? In the top picture, his horns appear sawed off and the bottom one, they look whole. Maybe the top picture was taken after the lower picture?

The top photo was taken about a month ago, right after he was tipped. The bottom was last November.
Had to tip 'em cause he sharpened 'em up to less than the diameter of a quarter.
We've worked him pretty hard between last summer and now to get some of the weight off and build more muscle definition. It helps he's out to pasture with a paint filly who likes to chase him around and bite 'em on the nose <grin>...
I did notice after comment in the top photo his legs look real short - they don't seem that short in real life. Also he looks FAT in the top photo <grin>. If the camera adds 10 lbs for people, then it must be 100 lbs for bulls...
