Wild Cow Milking Contest

This is one event we’ve always enjoyed watching as a spectator at rodeos, and we hope you will too. There’s only one word for it WILD!!. The contest consists of three, three member teams. Each team has a designated roped wild cow, they must catch her, and get a drop of milk and present it to the judge. First team to complete the task wins. Sounds simple, well it’s a little more complicated than that.

These are WILD cows that have never been milked or even spent much time around humans or building structures. Most of the cows used have calves on side, and for the most part these cows can do more damage than your average bull. For safety precautions we wrap the ends of each horn to prevent any additional injury.
