First, Travis Briscoe, won round 1 on the back of our name sake bull, RodeoAttitude.com!  What a match up, a rider and a bull both showing their "Rodeo Attitude's".  Travis scored an 88.25 on the bull that is now owned by Diamond K Bucking Bulls to win the round.  The bull was given its name by Lynn and Rosemary Rice in honor of their respect for our program.  Ken and Connie Kasiner, Diamond K Bucking Bulls, purchased him last fall at the Rice Rach Opportunity Sale along with several other top bulls raised by the Rices.
