A couple of the older bulls had probably been roped before and escaped.They quit when the first rope hit their horns,and couldn't be heeled or tripped.Even with 4 ropes on him,one fought so long and hard that he choked down and then died.Probably weighed around 1700 or 1800 lbs. according to the ones who would know.
Oh yeah, I bet 1700lbs on a mature bull. Most of the big canner bulls here are around 2000lbs.
