Bull Fest 2006 - Mutton Busting

Cody had the longest ride of the day

Mutton busting? That's bull riding for little kids, on sheep. Pictured above, Cody Upton, age 8, has been mutton busting since he was 4. He'll have to retire soon, though, as he is out-growing the sheep. You can find mutton busting events at many rodeos; this one was at the California State Fair Bull Fest event. (See more Bull Fest photos on my Flickr slideshow.)

Wow! I love that 2nd shot of barrel racing (the first one of the woman in the green shirt).
