little yellow jacket

A big ol red bull has captured my heart. all thirty two available TiVo recording hours in our home have been dedicated to championship bull riding in hope of seeing my hero, Little Yellow Jacket, buck off another cowboy. He's 1750 pounds of brangus beauty, one horn up and one horn down, all heart and a ton of attitude. He has a rating of 22.9 out of 25 possible points that a bull can have, and has been bucking bull of the year three times; the first bull to do so. In 88 career outings he has been ridden only 13 times. His average buck-off time is under 3 seconds. If a cowboy sits the 8 seconds on LYJ they can expect a high score and beaucoup respect.
There are many great bulls on the PBR circuit with colorful names like Sling Blade, Panda, Blueberry Wine, Mossy Oak Mudslinger, Uncle Charlie, and a new favorite of mine, Ugly, who might also be known as champion snot slinger. But Little Yellow Jacket is a superstar in that he knows he is a champion. Most bulls after bucking off a cowboy just head on into the exit chute, still kinda buckin', seemingly unaware of the crowd. Not Little Yellow Jacket. When he bucks off a cowboy he stares him down for a moment, holds his head up high, pausing to enjoy the much deserved praise, and turns with a certain adorable flair and trots off into the shoot. One day Little Yellow Jacket will retire and start a family. I anxiously await his future offspring and hope the attitude and the moves live on. Because of LYJ i am a bull riding fan for life. I sit before the glorious monolithic big screen TV watching LYJ in slow motion over and over, knowing there's some future paintings of him brewing. and i hear the exasperated voice of my husband from another room: "Bull Riding! Again?"

Wonder why they call him "little" yellow jcaket? Must say the American form of "bull games" is better--better than bullfights--bull riding is fairer.
MJA
The reason they call him "Little"
Yellow Jacket is because his daddy's name is Yellow Jacket.
Simple enough????And to the original poster of this...
I too am a very big fan of the darling bull. I love him more than I can even tell you. I have tapes and tapes of PBR stuff with LYJ.
I don't and WON'T miss a single time I can see him... either in person or on TV. He has a very special place in my heart and I'm going to miss him terribly when he retires.. which will be this year. He makes his home not very far from me.... roughly about 30 miles so it will feel good to know that he is so close... but still I will sit and watch with tearful eyes as he makes his last appearance for us North Dakota fans in Bismarck on July 16. It will be a very sad night for me.
