Three riders enter the arena. Bunched together at the other end of the arena are thirty cattle, numbered from 0 to 9, three of each number. The judge gives a number to the team when the first rider crosses the start line, and the clock is started. The team must cut the three cattle with their number of the herd and guide them down the arena and herd them into a pen within the allotted time-usually less than ninety seconds. The fastest time with the most cattle wins!.
