Mudslinger (bull)

[1] Mudslinger was born in 1997[2] and raised on the Rockin P Ranch in Ardmore, Oklahoma, owned by D&H Cattle Company.

They run their bulls in both the PBR and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) circuits.

"[2] Mudslinger bucked almost exclusively in the PBR circuit, with only a couple rides falling outside.

[7] Specifically, he bucked two times in the PRCA and once on a lower level tour of the PBR.

[6] Former PBR and PRCA bull rider, Cody Whitney said, "I got on Mudslinger four times, and I rode him twice.

"[9] Two-time World Champion Justin McBride attempted Mudslinger around six or seven times.

He won a great deal of money on Mudslinger both riding and bucking off the bull.

In 2003, Mudslinger was the last bull McBride got on to win the PBR World Finals and he bucked off him.

"[9] In 2001, PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert, recalls that Mudslinger looked fantastic the first time he saw him ridden.

Bull rider Adam Carrillo rode him for a very high score of 94.5 points.

Dillon Page strongly felt Mudslinger should have won the title that year.

He bucked off two-time World Champion Chris Shivers "after a 7.6–second ride in Phoenix that everyone said would probably have been the all–time points record".

[6] Then, Mudslinger bucked off the 2008 World Champion Guilherme Marchi in 5.1 seconds for his last trip.

[10] Mudslinger launching Marchi off him while bucking helped Adriano Moraes win his third World Champion bull rider title.

Mudslinger "is often credited as a major reason why D&H Cattle Co. was named Stock Contractor of the Year" from 2001 to 2005.

He further explained that "I thought it'd be kind of cool for (Mudslinger) to go out with some of his sons who had moved up from the Classic event".

The Pages and partner Tom Teague collected a trailer and $200,000 cash prize for the honor.

[6] It was after Mudslinger won the 2006 world champion bull title that his owners evaluated his next career move.

[3] Dillon felt Mudslinger earned his retirement, so the Pages provided him an area for breeding with cows.

[10] Lambert believes Mudslinger was on a par with other bulls that won one championship or just came close to winning one.

He helped make other multi-titled bulls great too, like Dillinger and Little Yellow Jacket, by challenging them.

[17] And he is listed seventh in the all time historical ranking on Probullstats.com due to his adjusted average score marking of 45.86.
