No Bull!

We had a rodeo kind of weekend. Yesterday we met up with some friends in Truckee to watch the rodeo. Then we spent the night and went to the rodeo again today. After Rob decided to retire from bull riding we began talking about different options that would keep Rob working with bulls without riding in rodeos. Over the years he has made friends with many well known bull riders. One of them, Scott Mendes, a world champion bull rider, recently talked to Rob about running a bull riding school/camp he wants to start in Reno. He's already been successful with it in Texas and wants to begin another one in Reno, where he has family. Another thing Rob and I discussed seriously was getting into stock contracting (contracting the bulls at rodeos). This is something we are really excited about! Rob talked to Scott about this and Scott decided to research bulls for us in his neck of the woods. He called Rob and told him he had found a great bull that was too good to pass up. After discussing it, the men decided on a partnership deal with this bull. About two weeks after Scott purchased the bull, he called Rob to tell him the bull wasn't so great after all and sold him. So, we are now again without a bull, back to Square One. But, it will all work out when it's supposed to! We're excited about our options that lie ahead in our future.
