COPPERHEAD ROAD

Once again it has been a while since I have blogged. Once again, this college stuff has me very busy! The last two weekends I have gone home for several different reasons. Two weeks ago I went home for the local PRCA Rodeo and to have a good time with friends. I got to see my best friend, my family, and a lot of other really great friends. I had a blast and I really enjoyed the weekend. This last weekend I went home to take care of the animals because my parents were in Dallas for the Iron Man PBR Challenge, which I must say was pretty awesome. We had an amazing set of bulls that performed at excellent!!! I was so proud of the bulls. Some of the bulls out were: Big Tex, Smackdown, Bring It, The Situation, Mellow Yellow Jacket, and Yellow Jacket Junior. Needless to say, this pen brought their A GAME!!!
Today I got some pretty sad news that one of the bulls that put us on the map Copperhead Slinger, passed away. He hadn't bucked since late 2009 due to infection, but it was a very sad day and hard to let him go. You know that your bulls are like family when you get a phone call saying one of them has passed and you start crying. Copperhead had such a great personality, I have a few videos of him just playing around at home that I will try to find and post. Here are a few pictures. (Also once I get the charger back for my Mac Book I will post a few more pictures of Copperhead and I that we took for my senior pictures!)
This weekend I will  just be hanging around college town and spending time with some friends. My roommates dad has a saddle bronc school here this weekend so we will be helping out at that.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Austin Meier on Big Tex!

This is Copperhead Slinger and myself just messing around. His favorite time was feeding, when he would finish he would flip his bucket over with his mouth!
