The Bulls!!👍

The historic George Paul Memorial PRCA Xtreme Bulls took place over the weekend and the bull power was on full display! Rafter G Rodeo (Jim Gay) assembled a rank set of bulls for one of the best PRCA bull ridings of the year. The 2024 George Paul Xtreme Bulls featured bulls from Rafter G Rodeo Co, Stockyards Pro Rodeo, Lancaster / Cude, and Sutton Rodeo Inc..

The event was a two day Xtreme Bulls with a new set of bull riders each night. Over the course of two days, they bucked (89) bulls in Del Rio with an impressive 86% buck off rate. Twenty-eight of the bulls were marked over 44 points with ZERO bulls marked under 40 points! That means not one bull was marked less than a 20. Eight bulls were marked 45 points or better.

The high marked bulls of the event consisted of 524C Mezcal, Schott In The Dark, 714 Rank Frank, and 932 Desert Twister. Three of those four bulls owned by Rafter G Rodeo Co. Mezcal is a nine-year-old son of 44W Stone Sober who was featured in the short go both performances. The first night he put up a HUGE 48 point bull score. Schott In The Dark was rode in the short go on the second day by Josh Frost for 91 points, receiving a bull score of 45.50 points. Rank Frank is an own son of Bruiser who was featured in the short go both nights, receiving a 45 point bull score both night. 932 Desert Twister was featured in the long go both performances but received a 45 point bull score in the first performance.

The bull power was on full display in Del Rio, Texas matched up against the best bull riders in the PRCA only allowing very few qualified rides.

Great article on the Bulls!

Rafter G Rodeo brought the bull power to the George Paul Memorial PRCA ProRodeo Xtreme Bulls!

Jim Gay of Rafter G rodeo sub contracted some of the best bull herds in the country for the legendary bull riding that took place the last weekend in April. Bulls from stock contracting firms such as Stockyards Pro Rodeo / Double R Rodeo Company, Melton Bull Co., Dakota Rodeo and 4L & Diamond S were featured at the two day event.

No bulls were better than the newly acquired superstars to the Rafter G Rodeo string of buckers! They had three bulls at the top of the list all tying with the same bull score of 45.50 points!

604-D8 Goin Brandin had two outs in Del Rio bucking off Coby Johnson in the first round in 4 seconds! On the second day, he bucked off Maverick Smith swiftly in 3.01 seconds. Goin Brandin is an own son of 20U Shepard Hills Tested, and out of the great Superior Genetics female 604.

524C Mezcal also had two outs in Del Rio, with a great showing! In the first performance, he bucked off NFR qualifier Tristen Hutchings in 1.88 seconds. The second performance he bucked off one of the hottest bull riders in the sport Stetson Wright, in a quick 3.97 seconds!

W402 Jasper fouled himself with Stetson Wright and he was given a re ride. His other outing in Del Rio was electric while bucking off NFR qualifier Tyler Bingham in 5.15 seconds. Jasper was raised by Wentz Bucking Bulls from the North West, but he seems to be liking the rodeo trail in Texas!

Congratulations to Rafter G Rodeo for supplying an outstanding set of bulls to the George Paul Memorial Xtreme Bulls! They bucked (91) head of bulls over the course of the two days with an average bull score of 42.77 points and allowing (19) qualified rides. The highest marked ride of the event came from Sage Kimzey aboard 698 Megalomaniac for 90.50 points!
