I’ve been to enough rodeos in my life to know that you do not want the bulls getting loose. If they happen to, it’s usually a pretty swift process to get them back where they cannot wreck havoc..usually!

A rodeo bull named “Sauce Boss” has finally been recaptured after escaping from a Colorado rodeo five days prior while crews were reloading.

The bull escaped the Snowmass Rodeo grounds through a fence on July 2. After the bull escaped, cowboys rode through Snowmass searching for it, but eventually had to return to the grounds that afternoon to get ready for the rodeo.

The bull had been found a few times roaming behind a neighborhood, but crews had difficulty capturing it.

Cowboys were, however, able to successfully find the bull and lead him back to the rodeo on Sunday evening.

No punishment, not retirement or rest for the bull, who is expected to be back in the rodeo next Wednesday.
