Bulls and Geldings





One of the first assignments I got to shoot up here in Redding was the Bull and Gelding sale down in Red Bluff. For those of ya'll that don't know the word Gelding (I didn't) it means castrated horse. It's a week-long event that originally started in the 40s after the Depression and was meant to create a market for farmers and ranchers to sell their livestock. It's now grown into one of the largest livestock events in the West. At the sale, bulls and geldings are examined, judged, and then finally sold. There were other events including a stock dog competition, vendors, etc. It was a lot of fun, and I've decided to buy a pair of not cowboy boots, but something like cowboy boots. That way I fit in a little more and have something to wear when I'm tromping through the sh%^ and mud at the next sale. Let me know what you think, if you're so inclined. The feedback is much appreciated because I need it. I hope everyone is well. Luv......
