Below are our member match ups for round one. There are two match ups I am extremely excited about. They are both Shad Smith bulls. The first is Doubledown. This is a bull born and raised at Shad's. He is a tough bull and I predict he won't be ridden and will draw a very good bull score. My second pick is our member Clayton Williams against our member bull again from Shad Smith Painted Desert. I think Clayton will ride his bull and it will be a nice score.
I was right about Clayton and Doubledown bucked off his rider and got a bull score of 44.
