720 kilos! "Potrillo" de Pedraza de Yeltes

Just when you thought we wouldn't see a bull over 700 kilos again in Madrid for awhile, here comes another on. 

"Potrillo" from the Pedraza de Yeltes ranch was fought in Madrid last night by Joaquin Galdos.

No ears were cut but at least this bull was sent back to the corrals like the one earlier this year.

Monosabio gets gored

 

Here is something I have never seen, although I've always thought it could happen quite easily, a Monosabio was gored today in Bilbao. (Not too seriously, but had to be taken to the hospital for treatment for a goring in the glute.)  

He was helping get a bull off the picador's horse when the bull turned on him quickly and got him on the ground. From there he pushed him around quite a bit until a horn got into the mono's glute. Could have been worse though for sure.

The way it should be, always sold out

Bilbao, first sold out crowd in 15 years

"No Hay Billetes" in Bilbao! - First time in 15 years Bilbao sells out

 

(mundotoro.com 8-27-26)

Es una de las noticias más importantes de los últimos años. Un acontecimiento histórico. Vista Alegre ha colgado el cartel de ‘No hay billetes’ este jueves 27 de agosto en el quinto festejo de las Corridas Generales de Bilbao, en el que se anuncian Diego Urdiales, Alejandro Talavante y Roca Rey. Una noticia de enorme impacto para el toreo en una tierra en la que la tauromaquia vive momentos difíciles. Una muestra de que, pese a las dificultades, la fiesta sigue viva en el País Vasco.

Una tarde para la historia por los antecedentes y el momento que se vive. Vista Alegre lleva quince años sin colgar el cartel de ‘No hay billetes’. Esta tarde ha devuelto la expectación alrededor de la plaza de toros de Bilbao de la mano de Andrés Roca Rey, Alejandro Talavante y Diego Urdiales.

GANADERIA PRIETO DE LA CAL - El toro como razón de vida

An amazing video, very well done and with high quality video. Watch it on your HDTV if you can.

What a life it must be being a ganadero de toros bravos. Sure, it must be incredibly hard work, all ranch work or farm work is. But to raise fighting bulls, how can life get any better?
