Six teams came to Iowa to battle it out for their share of $30,000. Two of them went home winners.
D&H/Enlow/Gilbert and Ron White's Comedy Tour tied for top honors in Des Moines. Both teams of five posted a combined score of 222.5. Each took home $15,000.
The win helped secure D&H/Enlow/Gilbert's prestigious spot as No. 1 in the average score category. Their team score average, and bull score average, has them sitting on the top of a field filled with some of the best bulls in the world.
“I'm really happy,” confirmed H.D. Page of his team's tie with Ron White's. “We've got a a strong team that keeps doing what I ask of them. Can't ask for more than that!” The heaviest hitter — on either team — was Jacob's Pet. “He had a good trip,” affirmed Page of his animal's 46.5. Hustler and Ricky Bobby each posted a 44.75 for D&H/Enlow/Gilbert.

For comedian Ron White's team, it was Nervous Water who the judges scored highest with 45.75. Water was followed by teammates Flash and Sam's Town (aka Little Big Man), who each earned a 44.5.
Tied behind the two winning teams were The Vikings and The Tom and Jerry Show (both of whom have already claimed first place at a PBR Bull Team Challenge event this season). Both of these powerhouses had cumulative scores of 221. The Vikings’ Walk the Line and The Tom and Jerry Show's I'm a Gangster were each 45.25 points.
Mandan Mafia had 218 for fifth, with three bulls scoring 44 and a pair with 43s. Their solid stable continues to get it done, but in Iowa, Mandan Mafia needed to be scored a few more points to break into the top spots.
Red Horns’ Marcus was off his game and scored a dismal 30.75, getting a re-ride and dropping the team (made up of some the industry's top breeders) into last with 203.25. Bells Blue also had an off night for Red Horns, with a 39.25. Spit Fire (44.75), Holy Moly (44.25) and Bad Medicine (44.25) all delivered, but it wasn't nearly enough to make up for their team mates missteps.
