Burns' Bulls

Anyone who knows Pete Burns realizes he would not likely have a son who didn’t talk and so we thought Hal Burns might be delightfully insightful behind the chutes chatting up his charges. Hal didn’t disappoint. Burns Rodeo Company of Laramie provided five of the dozen bulls that closed out first round action last night at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho. Only one was topped for a score. Several great riders could not keep their seats including world champion J.W. Harris on a Burns’ favorite, Kid Twist. We give your now, through the skills of our video man Mike McCrimmon, the irrepressible Hal Burns. Our video closes with Hal’s smiling watch of another Wyoming bull – “Q” – owned by Dancing Dona Vold Larsen of Triple V Rodeo Co. in Casper:

Hal Burns was right about Utah’s Steve Woolsey. He scored an 80 and is in great shape to make the Saturday finals should he stay on for the whistle tonight.
