Bushwacker ... The greatest bucking bull of all time! We are so fortunate to have this magnificent bull living right here in Valley Home. It is such a treat when you drive by the beautiful green pastures he calls home and catch a glimpse of the iconic Mr. Bushwacker. Watching him last Monday on TV as he bucked his way into history becoming the 2014 Bucking Bull of the year made for a fantastic evening! As our family of Bushwacker fans gathered around the TV, we watched, yelled, and clapped as the famous bulls performed one after the other trying to outdo the mighty Bushwacker. On this, his final performance the night would belong to the greatest bucking bull of all time the hard bucking talented Mr. Bushwacker! As owner , rodeo legend Julio Moreno closes the door on this final stop on Bushwacker’s farewell tour, Las Vegas will become perhaps the greatest memory of all for this history making rodeo man and his famous World Champion. Congratulations Mr. Bushwacker ... Welcome home!
