Storms, predators, broken fences and other conditions happen on working cattle ranches which cause cattle to become scattered and injured. Gathering up the strays and inspecting them for lost ear tags, injuries, and health conditions are among the many skills a good ranch hand must be able to do with confidence. #CCCRR #RanchRodeo #Rodeo Fourteen working cattle ranches compete for honors at the Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo in Amarillo, Texas. Each invited ranch competes as a team and only the 12 top teams will be invited back the following year.
Wild cow milking is very unpredictable because every cow has not been milked by hand before so it is a completely new experience for them and each cow has its own personality and reaction. In this event, one cow decided she had just had enough of the whole affair. She got down on the ground denying access to her teats refusing to budge. It took a while to persuade her to leave the arena so rather than bore you with the whole affair I edited out almost five minutes of the event. The team was able to get a do-over with another cow.
All the events in this rodeo reflect the type of skills used by working cowboys on cattle ranches throughout the year. The ages and experience of the team members may vary quite a bit as these are not professional rodeo cowboys.
