The bull I used in the CHAMPION LANE FROST monument.
I have been asked what bull I used in the CHAMPION LANE FROST monument.The bull was Rudy Vela's when I was at Cheyenne Frontier Days I went through all the bull pens and he was the biggest baddest looking bull there. He had lots of hump and horns. He was really big and around 20000 lbs . His name was the Dark Side. They ran him in the chutes for me and I spent a lot of time taking measurements with calipers and photos of him getting reference for my sculpture. I told the contractor Vela for all his help I would put his brand on the bronze bull in the memorial.He was a beautiful bull and he had some attitude!
