The legendary bull, Tornado, fits in this category. Others are named for color as is the case in The Orange Blossom Special. Some bulls are named after songs such as Wipe Out. The trend to name bulls memorible names gave rodeo announcers more to talk about and caught the attention of the crowd.

Many early day rodeo bulls were identified by just announcing their number.

After all the time, work, and luck it takes a producer to get a bull ready to perform in a rodeo, one last item has to be completed and that is giving that bull his stage name. Most bulls performing in the rodeo arena these days are produced using a planned breeding and development program aimed at achieving superior bovine athletes.
