Rodeo livestock lives better than most people; certainly their breeders and
owners. Regular, premium feed, and even bottled water in some cases, help to
preserve the animals by keeping them comfortable, hydrated and able to perform
to their ability. For these and other reasons it is a fact that many bulls today
are marked and sold for six figures! They are as valuable as a prized
thoroughbred race horse yet one does not see the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or
Belmont being limited or eliminated.
