Alameda County supervisors voted Tuesday to ban the rodeo practice of wild cow milking in unincorporated parts of the county following hours of public comment and discussion.
Wild cow milking is just as the name suggests. A two-man team tries to get milk from a cow turned loose in an arena, as defined by the West of the Pecos Rodeo in Pecos, Texas.
"We are pleased with the way the went," said Scott Dorenkamp, livestock program and government relations manager with the association, though the group wished the issue hadn't come up. Johnson said Ringling Brothers is bringing back the circus without animals. He suggested rodeos could change, too. "Animals, they don't step up the podium," Valle said."They don't get a chance to speak. Who speaks for them?"He thought the county should rely on the state or federal government to regulate wild cow milking.
