Long Ropes and Slick Horns, WHY????

Why 60' of rope and a slick horn works well for doctoring cattle.

[@bigbboys]

I must have watched 5 times! No running, and hollering, no squeeze chute, no need to push the cow 5 miles. Simply awesome.

[@practice965]

Great Job!! I love how you folks work. I am so tired of doctoring cattle videos where they trip the animal down, which of course cannot feel good to the horse either nor helps it in any way.

[@dominiczamora5551]

That is awesome work , doing it by yourself with a good horse!!!!!

[@B.A.Cowboy1776]

Have watched at least 100x. Definitely my go to movie and Doctoring Bridleless w/ Little Red. Keep up the great work and hopefully you all can make it to NW America, and will see ya somewhere.

[@danw6014]

Very smooth and quiet. The horse stays with you mentally. Would like to be that handy some day.

[@thecowboypreacher6568]

This is great work I’m new to roping and have been getting better but I hope to be able To do this one day

[@henryhenry903]

That was extremely well done I love the long loop and not running a sick calf making him worse and I agree with the long rope and mule hide on the horn i use a 60’ 3/8 5strand for my all round pasture and branding and love it. There’s nothing better than ranch life and the partnership you can have with a good horse

[@310RanchLife]

Thanks!

[@jgndev]

Really admire this, how it should be done every time.

[@bdub78dub90]

Nice work , and a damn nice mount too. 👍

[@allanlavallee7171]

Well done. Way easy on colts and way less stress on stock. I generally used to hog tie just so my horse didn't have to hold for long stretches especially with only a wrap on the hind legs but to each his own.

[@b8ranch]

That is a perfect example! Great job!

Wow, che bello, super bravissimi. Grazie, per gli insegnamenti

[@TheAdventureCowboy]

Good stuff. Your video quality just gets better all the time. Great technique. I tend to use a 45ft and will run slick or with really tight rubber depending on what task I am doing.

[@310RanchLife]

Thanks, Yes I am not against shorter ropes and rubber on the horn, this is just what I prefer. If someone can get the job done well, the tools they use are merely preference. I know there are different methods and different situations and each person has what they are comfortable with.

[@TheAdventureCowboy]

3:10 Ranch Life Likeways, I have no issue with a 60 and slick as long as a person really learns how to safely handle horse, rope, and stock. I'd rope with you any day with any setup. 😁. We'd have a lot of fun!

From the old skool. 33' is all you need. Throw a very small loop. Loop from the shaps beltline to the center of the stirrup. Throw very hard at the target (head).

[@gerrycoleman7290]

You guys are such great horsemen. Thank you very much for you dedication to making horse's lives better. Hackamore, or rope halter and lead line, or no tack on the horse's head. Result: a horse that is free to move as needed with good balance and confidence. Look at the horse's head position. A nice natural 45 degrees. Now look at a vaquero style bridle horse. The horse's head is nearly perpendicular to the ground with an unnatural curve to the neck. Why?.............That is a position when the spoon in the bit is resting against the tongue. Put tension on the reins and the spoon can be pushed up and make contact with the palate. That is painful. The quintessential horsemen?..............No. Your horses are comfortable while working or at rest. Takes a lot of skill to accomplish that. Thank you again.

[@blazer23]

Thanks for the tips. i have a question i saw your stock trailer in the this video i have always wondered about the reason way they have roof.. i see a lot of these in Ok/Tx

[@310RanchLife]

The half tops are great for loading cattle, check out this video and you can see how it works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2bal4RvdpqkbqM

[@Bayou_Russ]

Also they’re usually lighter and not as wide so you can get across rough terrain in a pasture.

[@isissucks9622]

[@oliverdowling1007]

Ok riding around in the halter-more is a little goofy, but that was pretty damn well done.

[@rafterL78]

Would you prefer a spade in the mouth of a colt that's handy enough to do the job in a halter? Looks like this man knows his horse and his job. Keeping everything quiet. The fastest way to work cattle is slow.

When you feed out the rope from the wrap on the horn, is the wrap mule hide. Is mule hide preferred for this type of roping?

[@310RanchLife]

We wrap our horns with mule hide and get along great with it 👍

[@nathanhealy6805]

Could you tell me what boots you are wearing in this video?

what saddle do you ride

[@DRAGONFLAMINGHD]

Hi! sorry im late, i wanted to ask you, its better buy a horse that knows how to chase cattle, or try to train one?, I have and old Texas sattle, but i think it was more for showing than working (it was my grand pa´s sattle) so please i need recomendations, im kind of new, ill appreciate thanks

[@310RanchLife]

If you are new at all this, definitely getting an older, broke, trained horse would be best. Starting slow and getting good instructional help to learn the basics would be very beneficial. Also understanding your gear such as your saddle and what you need to enter into riding and working cattle is essential. Find someone who has a good reputation in your area and see if you can spend time with them and learn.

[@DRAGONFLAMINGHD]

Thanks, i think ill sell my horse then and buy a well trained one, im going to try to find someone, the thing whit my town is that, they preffer walking than keeping a horse, and its so much better riding a horse, Thanks for the fast reply, i hope you make more videos so i can learn more

[@310RanchLife]

Yes, we have more on the way!

[@henryhenry903]

DRAGONFLAMINGHD can I add to this chat I would say if you are that new to riding I would find a friend that knows what to look for in a good sound horse and have them help you pick it out because it’s easy to find a horse that has be worked hard for a few days to make it seem good and after you buy it it falls apart on the training end

[@DRAGONFLAMINGHD]

H Dog Thanks, actually is more complicated than that, in my area the don’t prefer horses they prefer bicycles so practically no one rides except from an old man but it’s to old, I can ride a horse whit no problems but I need to learn all the technics that are show in the video, I just I don’t get rob when I buy it if I buy it, i was just trying to explain my situation

[@andressanchez3070]

Will a 50-foot rope do to for roping those cows out in the pasture

[@310RanchLife]

[@michaelmclaughlin4374]

I've roped cattle of all sizes for 40+ years and I never used a 60 ft rope 40 at the most and mostly a slick horn so he ain't doing anything new and I've worked with hard and fast men that were just as handy as this guy just different

[@310RanchLife]

We totally agree! Ropes are just a tool; you can be handy or not so handy with any length of rope and with any style. We do have our personal preferences, like everyone does, and get asked "why" a lot. We made a video showing why we like this style and length of rope. We are not claiming to have invented the wheel, just explaining to anyone who was curious why we like to use a longer rope and a slick horn. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!

[@michaelmclaughlin4374]

@3:10 Ranch Life I actually like what you do,there are some people out there that don't know how to do that, I was fortunate to be around some really good cowboys that did it both ways

[@dougcooper6004]

Impressive, but without rock and sagebrush roping would be easier here in Wyoming. That place looks like a lawn. I have found a heavier shorter rope works better out in Wyoming wind.

[@davidguest7918]

Thomas Cooper show us ur video of ur work

[@dougcooper6004]

@@davidguest7918 I think these guys are very handy but just pointing out,the difference between the big rough range in Wyoming than where they are. I have 50 years out on the range but know nothing about videos. The cattle are also very gentle. I dont think their methods would work good in a 10,000 acre pasture.

[@henryhenry903]

Thomas Cooper I actually work on a ranch with a 17000 acre lease ( all one pen) with lots of trees ,willows , gullies and rocks and I still like my 9.5mm 65ft it just comes down to what you are used to and if you have big enough mitts to handle it all. I work with guys like you that only run 40ft ropes cause it doesn’t feel good with a bigger bundle in there hand. Myself I like the forgiveness of a 65ft and weight of the 9.5mm but like I said it comes down to what works best for each cowboy

[@rafterL78]

I'd prolly stick with what works, then. I dont think I would be comfortable with all that extra rope in my hand either and rarely see anyone use much over half of It but It IS interesting to see different styles and methods, tho.

[@marcuslee5549]

Yeah that is easy to work with train cows in the back yard. Some of us live in wild country with wild cows. Hahaha

[@310RanchLife]

These cattle are not trained in the back yard but they are not a flighty set. You can check out our other videos and see we also have calves that are flighty and we do get them doctored as well by running them down if necessary.

[@MrSanteeclaus]

I thought a 40 footer was long rope. 60 is a big handful of coils

[@wishiwon2]

ralph crosby 60 ft can be a handful. That’s why he recommend a 9 mm dia poly. I carry either 8.5 or 9 mm poly or a3/8 scant. The poly or treated cotton throws better in the wind, nylon has a springier lay. It takes a bit of practice catching outdoors, packing reins, rope and keeping all gathered up.

[@kevinlesch9656]

Us Yankees use a different approach. " Get em to the chute". The skill used in roping em is outstanding though! Different strokes for different folks! Either way easy on the cattle.

[@209brandonb]

Hands down that's 30ft to much I'll take 20ft tied on hard and fast before I use a 60ft rope if your worried about not running after you rope the calf you can't throw more that 24ft that's 3coils just tie on and you don't have to dally that's how we start all our colts so you can thro your rope and use both hands on your colt to keep him slowed up under control

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Might need that extra rope for the trip and hold.. I'm not too bad of roper myself

[@310RanchLife]

209brandon B how the tools of the trade are used vary and depend on individual preferences as well as the region they work in. If using 20ft rope is good for your cattle, your colts and you, then that's great. Good stockmanship and Horsemanship are more of a mindset than anything, so as long as it's done slick and done well, personal preferences can vary.
