Why do the bulls buck in bull riding?

They buck because of the Flank Strap and the inborn instinct to get the weight off of their back.

Ummm...no they don't.\n\nLook closer.  There's a tight band around the horse's belly.  Not dangerously tight, or "animal-rights-activists - attention -worthy" tight, but tight enough so that when the animal is released out into the arena, it bucks in response and tries to get it off.\n\nDrugs like caffeine are also used, and horses are for sure abused right before being let out to make sure they're riled up.\n\nNot exactly pleasant, I know.

An Ox has been castrated a Bull has not. (Comparable to a gelding and a Stallion, in equine terms)\n\nI don't know for sure, but Oxes are supposed to be more tractable and easier to handle.

La Chupacabra!\n\nSorry.\n\nJust don't call yourselves the steers.  A college team in Texas is called that.  ('steer' means a castrated bull)

Oozie, you can stay here for several days asking this question. But unfortunately, all of us here will just be postulating different kind of theories on whether to ride him or not. But the problem will still remain unsolved. My advice for you is to take the bull by the horns, ride him and let's see how he reacts to your ride. That's a pragmatic approach. And if you're not riding well, you'll have to put in more creativity to it. I believe in practice cos practice preceeds theory. Contact me through my profile for further discussions. cya soonest.

Oxen are castrated and easier to train they are smarter and used for labor. Bulls are not castrated and really aggressive un-trainable..

riding is possible on account of friction between horse's feet and ground \nthe rider and horse together form a system which runs due to friction with gound

No bulls don't have udders. A Bull is NOT a male cow! A bull is a male BOVINE. A cow is a female BOVINE.

I found an auction site on the internet and the top selling angus bull weighed 1275 pounds. They can weigh more or less,it really depends on the bull. Also, steers weigh more than bulls because bulls spend most of their engergy keeping up their reproductive system. steers just keep gaining weight.

Yes and yes. They are responding to the motion of the cape, not the color.\nTests for this sort of thing are pretty cool and pretty cruel. They train a bull to get food from a square red box. The bull associates food and the square red box. Then they put two boxes out there - a square red box with food, and a square green box with a nasty surprise (frequently noise or a squirt of water that the bull hates) - and see if the bull can find the food more often than random chance would account for.\nAnd they can't.

Bucks are very cautious..tend to move early in the am and the evening, but they are usually closer than you think, hiding in the brush watching you, they are a little more relaxed in deep woods or heavy cover,where you are hunting is great by the sound of it, watch the edges of your fields, the usually stay close to the edge, ready to bolt back in the woods, but if they feel safe they will come more out in the open, just watch your movements, they dont miss a trick, be patient, dont mess with their rubs & try and find where the doe are..because there you will find your bucks..best of luck to you!

A mature White-tail stays in thick cover. Thats why they survive to be mature and big...they are much wiser. Look for them during the peak of the rut. Thats probably your only chance to harvest a big buck. After the rut they go into the cover again.

its more about vanity and flambouyance than the animal.... bulls are colour blind they see black white and grey the whole thing about bulls hating red is a myth

Origins\n \nBullfighting may trace its roots to Minoan Crete, where the bull-leaping ritual practiced by youths of both sexes is memorialized in the famous wall-frescos at Knossos. The wall murals show male and female acrobats confronting the bull, grabbing its horns as it charges towards them, and volt themselves over its back. This is known as "bull leaping". However, the frescos offer no hint of struggle or violence, and the Lunar Bull was a sacred animal commemorated in ritual and legends such as that of the Minotaur. Modern archaeologists tend to emphasize the danger involved in this athletic skill and may underestimate the extent to which the bull cooperated. A more likely explanation is found in the worship of Mithras in the pre-Christian Roman Empire. The killing of the sacred bull (tauromachy) is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed. Many of the oldest bullrings in Spain are located on the sites of, or adjacent to the locations of temples to Mithras.\n\nBullfighting is often linked to ancient Rome, when many human-versus-animal events were held as a warm-up for gladiatorial sports. Alternatively, it may have been introduced into Hispania by the Moors in the 11th century, although there are theories that it was introduced into Hispania a millennium earlier by the Emperor Claudius when he instituted a short-lived ban on gladiatorial games as a substitute for those combats. The latter theory was supported by Robert Graves. In its original Moorish and early Iberian form, the bull was fought from horseback using a javelin. (Picadors are the remnants of this tradition, but their role in the contest is now a relatively minor one limited to "preparing" the bull for the matador.) Bullfighting spread from Spain to its Central and South American colonies, and also in the 19th century to France, where it developed into a distinctive form in its own right.\n\nAnother belief is that bullfighting as is in present times has its roots based largely in wars that occurred between Iberians and Moors. As history has it, a common war strategy of the Moors was to set fire to the tails of bulls which would cause the herd to stampede into opposing armies in a frenzy. This tactic on the part of the Moors created a need to devise a way of overcoming the oncoming stampede on the part of the Iberian peninsula's previous inhabitants. What we see today in modern bullfighting, from swords, horses, Spanish style, muletas, facing the bull without weapons as is seen in Portugal's forcados, etc., was born from the necessity of survival in battles against the Moors.\n\nFrench ethnologist Dominique Aubier considers according to an espistemological study that there is no relationship between the Greek sacrifice which is an agricultural ritualistic celebration or the Roman Gladiators and the bullfight which is in Spain of pure paleontological hunting origins.Dominique Aubier explains that the corrida is a 20 000 year old primitive tradition, and that the theory of a so-called Arabic introduction of the corrida in Spain is an extravancy. In the 18th century, the Spanish introduced the practice of fighting on foot, Francisco Romero generally being regarded as having been the first to do this, about 1726. The modern style of Spanish bullfighting is credited to Juan Belmonte, generally considered the greatest matador of all time, who introduced a daring and revolutionary style which kept him almost constantly within a few inches of the bull. Although extremely dangerous (Belmonte himself was gored on many occasions), his style is still seen by most matadors as the ideal to be emulated. As bullfighting devolped, men on foot started using capes to aide the horsemen in positioning the bulls. This type of fighting drew more attention from the crowds, thus the modern corrida, or fight, started to take form. Today, bullfighting is now like it was since 1
