I'm not sure, but I think the bull is picked by the riders sometime late fall. ?
If I was picking I would probably say one like Raindeer Dippin. I've heard the comment made that he is not consistant. He sure is rank. I also think Uncle Charlie, Pandora's Box, Smokeless Wardance & Werewolf stuff. And I'm not sure how right I got their names. We as fans see a bull buck and look like a good ride to us, but then the points given the rider is not high.
So maybe someone could tell us how the bulls are picked for bull of the year and how other then the bull has 50points and the rider has 50points, how do the judges decide how many to award each?

I am hoping Just a Dream or Rocketman (aka...Scene of the Crash) will win bull of the year this year.

It would be nice for my boy Snark to get it but he is a rookie.....maybe he can get Rookie of The Year.........still unridden. He is one to watch

Rodeo — Local bull still bucking off cowboys
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC
Doctor Proctor still has the rudest bedside manner around.
The Selah-based Red Brangus bull was the top-rated bucker at a Professional Bull Riders (PBR) event Friday and Saturday in Reading, Pa. While going unridden in two go-rounds — and allowing neither bullrider to stay aboard longer than 2.8 seconds — Doctor Proctor was the highest-marked bull among the 91 bulls at the event.
Doctor Proctor averaged a 23.313 score from each judge for his two rides. Only two of the other 90 bulls averaged 23 or better, and each of those was for a single ride.
According to ProBullStats.com, the 29-trip unridden string owned by Doctor Proctor — now ranked 11th on the ProBullStats' list of top 200 bulls for all bull-riding events, both PBR and rodeo — is topped by only one other bull. Bo's Excuse, an Andrews Rodeo Company bull out of Texas with 39 straight buck-offs, has a longer streak. Doctor Proctor, though, has a significantly higher average judge's mark over his career (22.603 to 22.179).
Chris Shivers, after his winning 90.5-point ride in round one, was given the opportunity to ride the unridden Proctor for a $10,000 bonus. And after he was thrown off in 2.8 seconds, he told a television interviewer that he underestimated the bull and that it reminded him of the legendary Bodacious.
"So you've got Chris Shivers equating Doctor Proctor with Bodacious, and Ty Murray said that if he could vote for bull of the year, he would vote for Doctor Proctor," Doctor Proctor co-owner Gary Long said Monday.
Rod Chumley, the Red Knection stock contractor and Doctor Proctor co-owner, took the bull to the Reading event and was told by numerous bullriders there that they would casting their bull-of-the-year votes for Doctor Proctor. The bull won't buck again until the tour finals Oct. 27-Nov. 5 in Las Vegas.
