WHEREAS, the big, brindle-colored, Brahma bull known as Red
Rock and owned by John Growney of Red Bluff first began his rise to
fame when he became the first bull to remain unridden after 309
attempts; and
WHEREAS, on Red Rock' s 310th performance, that record came to
an end and history was made at the 40th Annual Redding Rodeo on May
20, 1988, when, before a capacity crowd, the great bull was
successfully ridden to the whistle by a young cowboy, the late Lane
Frost; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to preserve the legend of the World
Champion Bull, Red Rock and World Champion Cowboy, Lane Frost ' s
historic ride at Redding, a bronze statue of that famous ride was
created and is now displayed at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association (PRCA) Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, Red Rock' s record of 309-0 in the PRCA is one that
will stand for many years to come; and
WHEREAS, although Red Rock is now in permanent retirement, his
offspring are waiting and eager to prove that like their great
