Álvaro Lorenzo y uno de los muletazos de la temporada (Vídeo)
(mundotoro.com March 28, 2026)
Dos orejas cortó Álvaro Lorenzo en el quinto, al que recibió a la verónica de rodillas y de hinojos también inauguró un trasteo, que llegó con mucha fuerza a los tendidos. El toledano se abandonó con un toro de El Freixo de categórico embroque, supremo pitón izquierdo y un comportamiento complejo que la división entre mansedumbre y bravura se queda corto. Aunque buscó las tablas, las embestidas fueron de enorme flexibilidad con el pitón de dentro. Varios naturales en redondo -uno de ellos uno de los muletazos de la temporada-, quedarán grabados en la memoria de una faena de emotividad por su imperfección. Media estocada en buen sitio.

They are calling it on of the "muletazos of the season", the pass made by Álvaro Lorenzo on a bull from El Juli's ranch, el Freixo.
Álvaro Lorenzo fought six bulls from different ranches in Toledo yesterday, all part of a charity bullfight to raise money for a hospital in Toledo.

America's official mammal, the bison, gets a bronze tribute for the country's 250th birthday
(ksl.com March, 22, 2026)
The national mammal of the United States is getting in on America's 250th birthday celebration.
Three bison statues cast in bronze have taken up a permanent display outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington. The pieces — which are larger than real-life bison — made their public debut in the nation's capital on Friday.
The bison earned its official status as the nation's mammal under a law signed by former President Barack Obama in 2016. Millions of bison once roamed the Great Plains but were nearly driven to extinction in the 1800s.
"It's a wonderful story of conservation working, it's a story of people seeing a need and getting behind that to conserve an animal that is specific to North America," said Gary Staab, a paleoartist who made the statues.
Staab designed and sculpted the statues in Kearney, Missouri, where he works full-time to create sculptures of animals and historical artifacts for museums around the world. For the bison, Staab sculpted the full-size statues in foam and clay before they were cast in bronze and assembled at a foundry in Colorado. The three statues depict a bull, a cow and a calf.
He said it took about four months to complete the sculptures — a time frame he called "lighting fast" given the size of the pieces.
"They really represent a really unbelievably beautiful and unique thing about North America," Staab said.

The season has begun in Madrid
March 22, 2026
First bull of the year, Curandero from the Celestino Cuadri ranch. 668 kilos!
Above are photos of Curandero on the ranch, in the corrals, and then en la plaza.
As you can see this bull gave el torero Pepe Moral trouble, and as usual it seems like the first corrida of the year in Madrid never lives up to all the hype. No ears were cut, I don't think there was even much applause.
Maybe next week.

My dream job, un ganadero.
Getting in my SUV or truck and heading out early in the day to check on the bulls.
