Overview

  • The bull fled on July 2 while being unloaded at the Snowmass Rodeo and eluded capture until owners and officers cornered it on July 7.
  • Search teams from the Snowmass Village Police Department, rodeo handlers and local volunteers tracked the animal through the Horse Ranch neighborhood.
  • A previous attempt to rope the bull failed when heavy rain and thick foliage allowed it to slip free.
  • Media outlets have reported conflicting names for the animal, with CBS Colorado dubbing it Sauce Boss and police hearing it called Twinkle Toes.
  • Rodeo organizers say the bull will make its belated debut during the week of July 9 at the Snowmass Rodeo.
