Ratón earned his reputation by killing three bullfighters during his career, a rare feat for a bull in public festivals.
The bull became a media phenomenon, often appearing on national television and attracting thousands of spectators to his appearances.
Due to his fame, his owners implemented strict security measures and special logistics for his transportation to events.
The bull's name, 'Ratón' (Mouse), ironically contrasted with his massive size and fierce reputation.
The Gregorio de Jesús farm specialized in breeding livestock specifically for the 'bous al carrer' (street bull) tradition.
The Museo Taurino Toro Ratón is a specialized exhibition space located within the grounds of the Gregorio de Jesús livestock farm in Sueca. It is dedicated to the legacy of 'Ratón', the famous Spanish bull known for his aggressive and high-jumping antics in the bullring. The museum displays photographs, memorabilia, and trophies chronicling the bull's career in 'bous al carrer' festivals across the Valencian Community. Visitors can observe the facilities where the ranch manages its herd of fighting bulls. The site offers insight into the cultural and historical significance of the Valencian bull-running traditions. The exhibition provides a focused look at the life and impact of a singular animal on local festive culture.

Confirm the visit in advance with the ranch, as access is tied to a private working farm.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking on unpaved agricultural land.
Check if any local 'bous al carrer' events are taking place, as the farm may be busier during peak festival weeks.
Do not attempt to pet or approach the animals in the pastures, as they are fighting-breed bulls.
Visits are typically by appointment only as it is a private working ranch.
Maintain a respectful distance from the livestock pens and follow all safety instructions provided by the ranch staff.
