Madura has a fairly unique yangb culture, a kind of race but use the cow as a "car", her name is Kerapan Cow. It is a little review of oenulis about kerapan cows.
Kerapan or karapan cow is one term in the Madurese language which is used to call a race racing cows. There are two versions of the origin of the name kerapan. The first version says that the term "kerapan" comes from the word "often" or "kirap" which means "to depart and released jointly or in droves". Meanwhile, another version says that the word "kerapan" comes from the Arabic "kirabah" which means "friendship". But apart from the two versions, the current common sense, kerapan races is a special attraction for bovine animals. For the record, particularly in the area on the island of Madura Kangean similar races there that use buffalo. Race buffalo is called mamajir and not kerapan buffalo.
The origin of beef kerapan also there are several versions. The first version says that kerapan cows have been around since the 14th century. At that time kerapan cows used to spread Islam by a kyai named Pratanu. Another version says that the cow was created by Adi kerapan Poday, namely children's ruling Panembahan Wlingi Sapudi area in the 14th century. Adi Poday a long wandering in the Madura brings his experience in the field of agriculture to the island Sapudi, so that agriculture on the island to be developed. One technique to speed up the cultivation of agricultural land which is taught by Adi Polay is to use a cow. Eventually, because of the many farmers who use force cattle to till their fields simultaneously, hence the their intention to compete in the finish. And, finally the race to work on the field it becomes a kind of sport racing race called kerapan cows.
Various kinds of Kerapan SapiKerapan cow that is the hallmark of the Madurese is actually composed of several kinds, namely:
1. Often Keni (small kerapan)
This type Kerapan participants attended only by those who came from one district or kewedanaan only. In this category the distance that must be taken only 110 meters long and is followed by small cows that have not been trained. While decisive victory, in addition to speed, too straight or absence of cattle when running. For the cows that can win the race, can follow a higher kerapan again that is often the king.
Before starting any cow-kerapan often paraded onto the field. This opportunity is not only used to relax the muscles of cattle, is also an arena to show off the beauty of the garments and ornaments of the cows that will be contested. After the parade finished, clothes and all the trimmings it was opened. Only clothing that does not interfere with the cow's body movements are still left attached.
After that, began the first race to determine the standings of participants. As in a football game, in this round the participants will set the strategy to be able to enter pacuannya cows into groups of "top" to the next round (preliminary), can compete with the cow racing from the "bottom".
Next is the first preliminary round, second, third and fourth or final round. In this stage, the game wearing knockout. In other words, the cows that have been declared lost race, no longer be eligible to participate in the next round match. Meanwhile, for the cow race is declared the winner, will be confronted again with the winner of another match. And so on until only one player who always wins final and became champion.
