Bovine bingo 605266 210906979 2008-05-07T22:42:34Z Craw-daddy 1952032 update stub tag '''Bovine bingo''' is a traditional [[rural]] [[fundraising]] game that is often played at country fetes and summer [[fair]]s, usually for fundraising purposes. Bovine bingo is not really a form of [[Bingo (US)|bingo]], but a form of [[lottery]]. The game is set up by marking out a grid of rectangles on an enclosed land area, such as a [[paddoc]]k or [[farm]] field. This is usually done by chalking lines. The grid cells are then numbered or otherwise identified in some way, and chances are sold on each cell. A [[cow]] (or other [[livestock]] animal) is then let loose within the enclosure. Where the first "cowflop" ([[defecation]]) lands determines the winner. Another popular variation of this game takes place during parades, usually with [[horses]]. Same rules apply, however. The game is sometimes controversial because of the stress the animal may be exposed to. The game is also known as "Cow Chip Bingo", "Cowpie Bingo", "Fertilizer Lottery", "Cow Patty Bingo", "Cow Pat Lottery", or "Bossy Bingo." {{Unreferenced|date=May 2007}} [[Category:Cattle]] [[Category:Games]] [[Category:Lotteries]] {{gambling-stub}} [[de:Kuhfladen-Bingo]] [[sv:kobingo]]
