Mutton Bustin

[Dave]

I have a grandson who won the mutton bustin at his local rodeo. Won a nicer belt buckle than they gave away for riding broncs 50 years ago. Picture of him shows him sitting upright with one hand in a rope like the big boys. He told his dad that now I know how Stetson Wright feels. Dad repied yep you made the whistle. The boy said, no dad I was 90 points!

Little closer to the ground on a sheep than a bulls back . Just saying.

Mutton bustin is a high light with the crowd at our rodeo.
Had one little boy have the sheep roll over on him and when the sheep stood back up the little boy was still hanging on!

Well when you are 6 years old bulls are not in the program for a few years yet. His Dad is the cow boss on a fairly big ranch in Idaho. He gets to spend a lot of time on a horse moving cows. Those ranch kids learn to sit on something at pretty young age. I am sure he has ridden a few calves. His dad was 8th in the world riding saddle broncs at one time. And his mom could ride the hair off a buffalo. So he comes by in naturally.
