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.
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.

A car accident. A lot of times it's instant impact, a fraction of a second of confusion, and immediate pain, with additional panic as you assess whether or not you're going to make it to the fence or be a victim of more. Adrenaline only prolongs the confusion stage...

Hope it went well! I switched my email and forgot to reply to this; I did see it back in August and was thinking of you!
Yes, nerves play a part, but you have to harness that and turn it into focus. You have to want to do it and want to win. When you get nervous, just remind yourself that this is what you want to do, and think of the times you looked forward to it in anticipation. Fear is only a state of mind and pain is only fear leaving the body. Ride rank.

The PBR has a touring pro division and brings 5 up every 5 events. You have to earn your spot, and continue earning money to keep it.
As every bull riding event is technically a starting point, and then the touring pro level as a qualifier to the pro-level, this would be hard to guage.

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.
