Tornado was the greatest bull in rodeo history. Just outside the Cowboy Hall of Fame, he is interred along an ambling oath that takes visitors past some magnificent bronzes of cowboys as well as monuments to a select few of their best-remembers animals: Baldy (\u201cA Great Cow Pony\u201d), Steamboat (a horse, \u201cSymbol of the Spirit of Wyoming\u201d), Hell\u2019s Angels (\u201cGreat Bucking Horse\u201d), and Midnight (a horse: \u201cPlease, God, Rest His Soul\u201d).<\/p>\n

Tornado is the only bovine creature honored here; his marker eulogized such talents as \u201cbucking, jumping, and spinning\u2026 clown- and barrel- fighting\u201d but notes that \u201cHe was not a killer bull. He bucks just hard enough to toss his rider. The better the cowboy rode, the harder Tornado bent to his task.\u201d<\/p>\n
