B. Welsh Be Good

Bobby Welsh has it going on at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He is four- for-four. The Gillette, WY man is the only rider to match the bucks, twists and spins of every bull he’s drawn in Las Vegas. Welsh leads the average (total scores) by 59 points. Clearly, everything can change in one night but Bobby is on a roll. He won the round last night with a score of 89.5, picking up another $17,000 paycheck and a go-round buckle. Welsh spoke with us afterward and he doesn’t plan to dwell on his accomplishments thus far:



Powell’s Kanin Asay is making a run at the bull riding gold buckle as well. Like Welsh, Kanin faces long odds in overcoming JW Harris who is well ahead of the pack but his hand injury is a factor to consider as to how the rest of this action filled finals will play out.

Dusty Dancing

For a writer it is difficult to admit the shortcomings of a well-turned phrase but in this case it is a fact. Words can’t come close to properly describing the work last night at the national finals rodeo by bullfighter Dusty Tuckness. Tomorrow, or perhaps later today, we’ll have an in-depth feature piece to show you about Dusty. For now, let’s have our pro-video maestro, Mike McCrimmon, give you a taste of what fans in the arena and on national television saw from the Meeteetse, Wyoming rising rodeo star in the fourth round of the Big Show:



Dusty Tuckness is just 23 years old and is performing at his first NFR.
