Abstract

Over the past 2 decades, bull riding has emerged as a growing stand alone industry of domestic and international interest. Currently no studies have evaluated commonly diagnosed injuries and diseases of bucking and rodeo bulls.

The purpose of this study was to describe injuries and disease conditions diagnosed in performace bucking bulls presented to a veterinary medical teaching hospital.
