Bull Plucky

Sabine Rouas is over the moon about the talent and fame of what was once a little bonus bull calf she named Aston.

Sabine's not the only one to throw a saddle on their cattle, though.

That is adorable. Bull gets to jump because he's envious of the horse. How very sibling of him.

Wild West Willie has been a common sight at the Calgary Stampede Parade.

I've seen cattle ridden before, but I've never seen one do a leg-yield. That is amazing.

Oh my god, she braided his tail in the second video by wrapping ribbon around the base. Amazing.

I am probably unreasonably irritated by the third article because he's clearly a bullock, not a bull, on account of how he's very clearly got no testicles. But that may just be me.

...I guess technically you could call him an ox, honestly; he's a castrated male being primarily used for draft work, so... ox he is despite probably not being from a draught breed.
