Milking Wild Cows....

….looks like a bad idea! The wild cow milking competition at the Sonoma Co Fair ended with a result of cows 3 cowboys 0. The fellow in the last photo came very close to receiving the ultimate bovine lesson.

Definitely not a "sport" I'd care to participate in. You definitely captured the spirit and lunacy.

Good captures Phil, not for the faint hearted
Thanks Alan, I'm guessing there was some limping going on the next day...and it wasn't the cows!

Nice shots of a fun Ranch Rodeo event - out here they mostly git 'er done!
Thanks quixdraw. The Sonoma Co. sheep and dairy production lands are being converted to vineyards at a rapid rate, maybe our cowboys are sipping too much white wine!

I think most of us reach an age when we stop doing things that make us walk funny the next day! Thanks for the visit vz.

Fantastic action shots. Can't help but wonder why they put their life in jeopardy participating in this dangerous 'sport.'
