The selection of bulls is done by livestock groups with several criteria. They prepare young boys for the performance of Sapi Gerumbungan.  In Sapi Gerumbungan show, a pair of cows on their necks are connected with a wood called “uga”, in the middle of the uga lies a 3-meters wood where the jockey stands. Like Karapan Sapi / Makepung in Jembrana District. The cows are decorated, hung a big bell called Gerumbungan. Participants including jockeys and cows already trained, every jockey expects his champion to go fast and be a winner.
