Hardest part of bull riding - the ground

Lincoln County cowboy J.C. Merriott found his bull, Bodis Dream, too much to handle Friday night, Sept. 11, at the Palouse Empire Fair. After getting tossed, Merriott got a reride. The bulls and other stock were from Wild Aces Pro Rodeo, the McMillan family stock contractor based in Soap Lake. Lincoln County was also represented throughout the weekend by trick riders Laramie Gray of Reardan and Stahley Overmyer of Davenport, and others.
