Wow, I have never heard of this and we live in Oklahoma!! What a fun idea! Please tell me, what field do you use for the cow,is it at the school or someplace off campus? Also how big is the field and how many squares do you mark off for it, basically I guess I want the details!! Thanks!!
Zeekaboo--- my sister in VT worked out that detail in case it did land on a line. They heard from another organization that you have to have more than one "judge" go out and actually divide it up, weigh it and award the money to the square with the most poo.
It's a job that I definitely would not volunteer for!!
but you bring up a good point, you need to have that all in your "rules" in case. Just like what if the cow never does poo.

A local church in our area does this as a fundraiser. It is a blast, and it nets them a profit of 5K. They sell tickets for so much a square and then the morning of..... basically wait. The cow has never disappointed the crowd, although it took up to 3 1/2 hours one time. The winner gets 5k and the church gets 5k. I guess it depends on how much you charge per square and how many squares you determine.
As for the cow, we live in NJ near the shore and there a a few farms right here in Middletown. A local farmer grids his field and donates the use of Bessie.... now for the real question? I wonder what happens if 'it' lands on a corner of four squares?????? Do the spllit the'pot' so to speak.
Here it is called cow pie bingo.
