I've seen participants spend anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours painting their animals (including 5-10 minutes of drying time), depending on how extensive and elaborate a paint job they were doing, and they almost always headed straight for the hoses after the judging was over to wash it all off.

    Regarding "Not Proven", it used to be in Scots law that the two verdicts were "Proven" and "Not Proven", until a lawyer managed to convince a jury to return a verdict of "Not Guilty" on a case where the jury didn't want to punish a person for a charge that the prosecution had definitely proven. For a long time thereafter "Not Guilty" was just the way Scots juries practiced jury nullification, until it became the norm and Not Proven then changed to being "we know you did it but can't prove it".

Also, in 2014, Turriff United F.C. adopted a mascot of a cow, possibly based on the Turra Coo, but this time male (so Turra bull I guess)
