"Who can put up with a lot of bull?"

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must take part in bull racing. They must hang onto a harness hooked up to two bulls and continue holding on while the bulls dragged them through a mud course the length of a football field. Once they make it across the field without letting go of the harness, they would receive their next clue. Only one team may attempt the task at a time. If they let go of the harness before making it across the field, they must go to the back of the line before they are allowed to try again.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
