🍅 Most tricks performed by a cow in one minute: he most tricks performed by a cow in one minute is 10, and was achieved by Ghost and her owner Megan Reimann (USA), in Hay Springs, Nebraska, USA, on 4 March 2023.
*Scotty note: I don't know what it takes to train a cow... and Megan seems like a nice lady... and she's worked a long time with Ghost... But when you hear that Ghost the cow can do tricks, I can't help it. I'm thinking about maybe hanging from a trapeze. Keep in mind that I'm a city slicker. I don't know cows. Here are the 10 tricks that Ghost did... Head nod, kiss, bell touch, fist bump or leg lift, stand on a pedestal (that was two legs on a little platform.) Bow, spin, self-roping (which sounded so great... see video for what self-roping looks like)... also Come When Called, and Stay... so Ghost the cow can stay... like, stand basically... you say, hey Ghost, and Ghost doesn't move... that's one of the tricks. But, hey, that's a Guinness World Record and I'm not going to take away from Ghost the cow. All I'm saying is there's room there to build on this. Maybe next year's record attempt will involve a trapeze!?
