Four Events: 6 Minute time limit to complete all 4 events

Calf Branding
- The calf branding will start the scramble. One member will ride into the pen and heel designated (numbered) calf. One member will ride into the pen and will rope designated numbered calf (catch as catch can). No loping. A 10 second penalty will be assessed each time the horse lopes. Two members will wrestle calf, while 4th member will brand calf (DVD on left rib). Calf must stay in the pen and branding iron must be returned to the bucket, before all members may mount and continue competition and move onto the next event.
- There will be three head of cattle in the arena. The team will doctor one of the steers, the team will load one steer and will milk one cow.

Steer Doctoring
- For the doctoring event, the team will head, and heel one of the steers. The team will then tie at least 3 legs of the steer which will need to stay tied for 6 seconds and will put an X on the “doctored” steer. All ropes must be removed except for the pigging string tying the steer.

Sorting
- Sorting is a fast-paced event that tests teamwork and cattle management skills. Teams will be assigned a cow and steer, each numbered according to your drawn number. Along with your assigned animals, you'll work with a portion of the cattle from other teams (numbers 1-5 or 6-10, depending on your group). The goal is to sort your assigned cattle out of the herd and race to complete the task in the shortest time possible.

Wild Cow Milking
- For the milking event, the team can head and heel the horned cow or head and mug the cow to milk her. Once the cow is milked, the bottle will need to be taken to one of the judges to pour the milk out. There must be enough milk in the bottle to pour out and not just drops come out. The bottle to gather the milk in will be placed by the branding bucket.

There will be NO roughing of the animals and the Judge’s decision is FINAL. Any intentional roughing of the animals or horses will result in the team having a NO TIME. Everyone is hand enough to recognize roughing of animals.

Rules

Ride as you can for 8 seconds. A standard working saddle must be used. No PRCA rigging allowed. No hobbling of one or both stirrups. Horse has to be saddled as he would be for everyday use. If catch rope is carried on the saddle, it must be attached as it would be for everyday use. Saddled for everyday use means: stirrups have no bindings in order to hold stirrups forward. Rope must be free except for the rope strap, no tying rope to anything but the rope strap.
A regular bucking horse halter will be provided by stock contractor, single rein provided by ranch bronc rider. Points will be awarded for the difficulty of the horse and for the degree of aggressiveness, control, and exposure demonstrated by the rider.
If the rider believes that he has been fouled, he must yell “foul” in the first 3 seconds of the ride and then continue to make the best ride possible throughout the 8 second ride. A re-ride may be awarded at judge’s discretion. Judge’s call is final.
Have Fun!
