Major Story Arcs

Brought to Rattlesnake Gulch by Mortimer to meet some of her relatives. When she hears that Mortimer is in trouble, Bessie gathers some bulls together to stampede Coyote Kane away from her master.

It is later learned that Bessie is able to give ice cream instead of milk when Mortimer feeds her ice cubes. The flavor depends on the topping Mortimer puts on the ice cubes. Not only this, but she can also walk on a tightrope. This comes in handy when the boys look for an act to save a circus. Bessie’s act does just that, saving the Super-Duper Mammoth Circus from foreclosure.
