I'm just glad I have other people's kids to practice on so by the time mine are ready to go I've worked all my kinks out :chuckle:

Fantastic writeup! I got to hear it from you as it happened and you did good putting it into words. Couldnt be happier for Caedyn. Great group effort from everyone involved! Freakshow is the perfect name for that bull. Good job dad!

Caedyn sounds like a great kid. Reflection of his mom & dad :tup:  Awesome job guys.

When I get home I will send them to you did you happen to see any injuries on his left side which would make his right horn all messed up I would look at him through a spotting scope but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary just curious when you were cutting him up

He grew that way.  Straight genetics I'd hazard.  No injury that I could find.

Very cool story. Way to be a good dad and what a good kid as a result.
