Watch: Bull wrangled five days after Colorado rodeo escape
The bull was said to have escaped while being unloaded Wednesday at the Snowmass Rodeo and was repeatedly spotted in the ensuing days in the brush behind Snowmass Village's Horse Ranch neighborhood.
CBS Colorado gave the bull's name as Sauce Boss, but Snowmass Village Police Officer Zach Wilcher told Cowboy State Daily he heard the animal's name was Twinkle Toes. Wilcher said he was unable to confirm the bovine's name.
"It kind of just eluded us for a few days," Wilcher said Monday. "I understand that the owners of the bull were able to retrieve it yesterday."
A local homeowner said the bull had been roped by cowboys a few days before its capture, but managed to give them the slip amid heavy rains.
"Once it kind of moved up into this neighborhood, which is bordered by some open land with really tall, brush type foliage, it kind of disappeared into that area and really wasn't seen until the owners were able to locate it," Wilcher said.
The bull is expected to make its belated debut at the Snowmass Rodeo this week.

Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo July 20 (UPI) -- Scottie Scheffler shaped spectacular shots, calmly caressing rugged Royal Portrush Golf Club's Dunluce Links for a final round 3-under 68 on Sunday to win his first British Open title. Scheffler, who carried a 4-stroke advantage into the final round, nearly pushed that lead into double digits, with five birdies and one bogey over his last 18 holes. "It's a pretty special feeling," Scheffler said on the NBC broadcast. "It was a tough week. I battled hard all weekend. Today, again, was a battle. I played some really good golf and I'm fortunate to be holding the trophy." Scheffler's four-round total of 267 -- 17-under par -- was the third-lowest 72-hole total in British Open history. He led the tournament in several approach statistics, including chances inside 20 feet, chances inside 30 feet and strokes gained. He also finished second in strokes gained through putting. No. 19 Harris English, who led the tournament in strokes gained through putting, placed second at 13-under. No. 49 Chris Gotterup placed third at 12-under. No. 28 Wyndham Clark, No. 59 Matt Fitzpatrick and No. 111 Haotong Li tied for fourth at 11-under. The winning putt. This is the one. The Open (@TheOpen) July 20, 2025 With his victory, Scheffler claimed his fourth overall major. He now only needs a U.S. Open title to complete a career grand slam. He took home $3.1 million, in addition to his first Claret Jug, for his efforts in Portrush, Northern Ireland. "Really, every day is a battle," Scheffler said. "Playing this game, it's a battle within yourself all the time to try to try to get the most out of your game and yourself. This week I did a really good job of kinda hanging in there mentally and played some good golf." Scheffler, 29, joined Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as the only golfers to win Masters, PGA Championship and British Open crowns before age 30. "It's hard to put into words," the world No. 1 said. Scheffler started his day with a birdie on No. 1. He picked up two more strokes with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 4 and 5. Scheffler made his lone bogey on No. 8, but responded with a birdie on No. 9. He made birdie on No. 12. He carded pars on his other eight holes on the back nine.

Scheffler has now finished inside the Top 10 in 11-consecutive tournaments, tying the longest streak of his career. He can tie Vijay Singh's record from 2003-04 with another Top 10 finish in his next tournament. "He is playing incredible golf," English said. "It's awesome to see. He is setting the standard for professional golf right now."

Former Orioles minor leaguer Chase Childers dies while saving swimmers
July 18 (UPI) -- Former Baltimore Orioles prospect and police officer Chase Childers, 38, died after helping to rescue swimmers in Pawleys Island, S.C., officials announced. He was 38. "The Cobb County Police Department is mourning the loss of one of our own, former officer Chase Childers, who lost his life this past weekend in South Carolina while selflessly saving others from a rip current," the Cobb County Police Department said Thursday. Pawley's Island police said they received a call at about 4:45 p.m. EDT Sunday with reports of multiple swimmers in distress near Shell Road. A person was reported missing, and police and Midway Fire Rescue started a search, assisted by the Coast Guard. Childers was recovered at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday. Police said his drowning was the fifth in the area over the last 26 months. "The victim, Chase Childers, and another person entered the water to help 4-5 individuals who were in distress," Pawley's Island police said. "Sadly, Mr. Childers was caught in the rip current, as well. He died trying to save others." Childers played at North Cobb Christian High School in Kennesaw, Ga., before going to Georgia State University. Childers joined the Orioles minor league ranks in 2009. The former second baseman and shortstop prospect hit .195 with six doubles, two triples, six steals and 17 RBIs over 50 Rookie League appearances. Childers is survived by his wife, Nataley, and three children, Barrett, Brooks and Bella. A GoFundMe page set up for the Childers family had raised more than $163,000 as of Friday afternoon. "Chase was a truly selfless individual, always prioritizing the safety of others above his own," the Childers family said in a statement. "Without hesitation, he would leap into action whenever someone was in need, ready to tackle any challenge that came his way. "To his family and all who knew him, he will forever be remembered as a hero."

Las Vegas Raiders place defensive tackle Christian Wilkins on PUP list
July 18 (UPI) -- The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive tackle Christian Wilkins on the physically unable to perform list, the team announced Friday. Wilkins underwent season ending surgery on his left foot in October. He sustained a Jones fracture in the foot during the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 6 in Denver. Wilkins, who signed a four-year, $110 million deal with the Raiders last off-season, will miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign if he remains on the PUP list after the league's Aug. 27 53-man roster deadline. He is eligible to return at any time during training camp or the preseason. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound defensive lineman totaled 17 combined tackles, six quarterback hits and two sacks over five appearances in his first season with the Raiders. He recorded 65 combined tackles, 23 quarterback hits, 10 tackles for a loss, a career-high nine sacks, two passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble over 17 starts for the Miami Dolphins in 2023. Wilkins, the No. 13 overall pick by the Dolphins in the 2019 NFL Draft, missed just two starts through his first five seasons in the league. ️ Live: Antonio Pierce and Christian Wilkins address the media from the Intermountain Health Performance Center.
