Wild Cow Milking is a timed competition that begins when a cow is turned loose into the arena. Out of a three-man team, one ropes the cow while the other two attempt to milk it. Until they get a small amount in a bottle.

The clock usually stops after the cow is milked and a team member runs with the bottle to a designated area. For the time to count, there must be enough milk in the bottle to produce at least one drop when it’s turned upside down.
