[@coltonsnyder829]

what type of ropes did they use

[@longlivecowboys1085]

WolfGamer Most of the times they use ranch ropes so you can feel the tip, out here in northern Nevada we use poly rope’s usually anywhere between 50 and 70 feet long 3/8 scant ( extra soft ) , so we can slide our dallies to be easier on the calf ... but out here we head em and heel em.

Fantastic, is this anywhere Chico California? Do you do out of season rates for old disabled riders from the UK?

[@conniecrawford5231]

TheSnakeGaming Since you are a Brit, you need to know this is Colorado Springs, Co- Chico CA is not rangeland like this! Chico is a common name in many Western States!

[@46rambo49]

herding cattle seems natural, herding people not so much, maybe they will go back to the city and vote in some politicians that will support this lifestyle instead of work so hard to take it away.
