I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
Hey "Frustrated Neighbor",
I had to call a contractor for some good notes on this question.
It really depends on the size of the herd, but ideally, a feedlot scenario of Concrete and Steel Fencing is what's recommended.
With bovine, the "grass greener on the other side" is always prevalent, but with bulls, there's also the matter of fighting with each other in a pasture and knocking into a fence.
As long as they have lots of space and lots of feed, then they will not be inclined to leave. If your neighbors don't have cattle, that's a bonus, bovine are herd animals and would prefer to stay with their herd as opposed to venturing elsewhere.
Now, 8' steel Fencing is a lot for 20-30 acres, so, for the entire pasture, you can use high tensile with multiple hot-wires as a 2nd option, but High, Strong and Extremely Visible is the way to go if going that route.

Depends on the area, level, size of event, etc. Some events will pay like $250 to win while others pay $20,000 ...
In 2011, starting at semi-pro, the top earner made $26,000
At the second from top-level: the top earner earned $238,000
At the premiere level: the Professional Bull Riders (PBR), the top annual earnings in 2011 was over $460,000...and then the top-earner gets a $1,000,000 bonus (1.4 million total).
Thank you Mark for your great questions. I can only answer so far, but I would recommend you contact the PBR Media Relations Department and the Justin Sports Medicine Team for more detailed information if necessary.

when a bull kicks his hind end one way and his front are center or the opposite (body twist)
Share Answer: 
Dominance plays a small part, but balance and "comfort" holds all the cards. I ride left and write write, and I am in the minority, but that's what I like. I think of it as when you lift weights, you lift with both equally, they should be just as strong, and I'm handy with my right (free-arm), so, that's what works for me.
But your centre of balance has nothing to do with your writing arm... and that plays a pivotal roll. You can always try both on some practice bulls or on a drop barrel, etc. and see if it makes any difference.

It would help, but it isn't necessary. Balance and reaction is key.
