Like humans, bucking bulls come in an array of shapes, sizes, colors with their own talent, personalities and desire to compete developing on a case-by-case basis. The average bucking bull begins competing with remote control dummies at 2 years old and generally begin their professional career between 3 and 4. Most bucking bulls average a 2-4 year professional career with some competing for as many as 10 years. Post-retirement, bulls live out the balance of their life as a stud on a ranch, passing of natural causes around 15 years old.
