The audience gets to laugh it up, but the performers are exhausted. After a performance of not more than ten minutes, the farmer's clothes are usually filthy, his shoes gone, and his rain hat in shreds; the "bull" with its skeleton of rattan and skin of cloth is usually only fit to be buried after a year of combat.
觀眾看得笑嘻嘻，表演者卻累慘了，一場不過十分鐘的表演，扮農夫的往往衣服髒了、鞋子掉了，斗笠支離破碎，而以藤條為骨、布為皮的假牛，往往也鬥上一年就告壽終正寢，可見打鬥激烈。
