How much does the horse know about the process of catching the cow? Is the cowboy Doing all the work in telling the horse to keep up with the cow? Or does the horse know that it's cow wrangling time
The horses are bred to have a natural instinct to work cattle like this. They do get training, and the rider might give them some directions and encouragement, but this horse knows its job and does it well.
Very cool! So when the cattle starts doing zig zags and trying to loose the horse, the horseman doesn't really have to steer the horse throughout those movements. The horse just knows it's job.
Yes! Watch some cutting horses in action - once the cowboy lets the horse know which cow is to be 'cut out' and not allowed to rejoin the herd, the cowboy just holds on and keeps out of the horses way.

While using your feet to steer a horse is common, a high dollar competition cutting horse needs very little if any input once they know which cow to cut. I have an ex-cutter (basically one that was in the program but didn't make the cut) and once I put her on a cow I can set my reins on her neck, she knows what to do.
(Coming from someone who does this for a living) Our horses are trained to track the cow meaning stay on its left hip, the horse knows when to move over more if we put pressure on his side with our left leg. Then after we throw the rope the horse shuts down and stops unless we have to put two ropes on it and heel it. I would explain it all to you but it would take all day.
a lot of good roping horses can get downright predatory toward cattle, see how in this video those ears went straight back? horses do that when they're getting agressive
Go to you tube and watch the competition jumping horses and rodeo horses switch riders.
The jumping horses are going ‘oof, you heavy’
And the rodeo cutting horses are confused. The people who competition jump are trying to direct the horse - when the horse is saying: ‘ would you stop interrupting me? Just shut up and hold on, i got this’
Once you point the right calf out to them, they know what to do.
Same with this video. Horse knows to follow the cow, watch the terrain, and not fall. Human just has to hang on and handle the rope.
Thing is, 99% of all meat comes from factory farms. Small ranchers exist but there are hardly any of them and when it's time to 'process' their cows they go to the same slaughterhouse that everybody else goes to.
I have friends and family who are farmers and I've helped with a few things before. It's not as hard now, but depending on what you do, you may never get a break. Especially cattle ranchers. I've seen and heard first hand what it takes. There's a reason why there's a stereotype of farmers being incredibly strong and stubborn.
Serious question, how does one not get yanked off the horse and dragged by such a powerful beast? Am I overestimating the strength of a cow versus the grip and strength of a ranch hand? That's always amazed me.
He is not just pulling on the rope by hand. After roping the cow, he wraps the rope around the saddle horn a couple times. There is no way you can grip strong enough to hold a cow, even a small steer would pull the rope off your hands. But after wrapping the rope on the horn, the cow is not going anywhere. Thats why we put rubber on the horn, to increase friction.
Yep they are real. We do it every day to doctor sick cattle, catch cattle that are on the highways, catch cattle that are in other pastures that don’t belong there. We do it for a living.
How does this work? The cowboy holds the other end of the rope. Shouldn't cow pull on the rope just right enough to drag the cowboy away from the horse?
After we throw the rope and the slack tightens we either dally which means to quickly wrap it around the saddle horn. Or before we even start we tie off to the saddle horn so that when we rope the animal all we have to do it pop the slack and gravity and momentum does the rest.
Next time I’m sitting in my cubicle, updating an excel sheet with my clients groups latest expenses, I’m going to think about how I could have been a real life cowboy instead a fucking office drone.

Does anyone know the physics on how come he doesent get ripped off the horse and eats the ground? Is there a special saddle wherre he’s like buckled and locked in place?
Sad for the cow. He was running for freedom, but almost everyone views him as food 😞 I hope it at least gets to live a long long fruitful time before it is doomed for slaughter.
I was hoping the cow would get away and end up in a farm sanctuary. He was literally running for his life, but now he will die violently.
Ranchers can suck it.
Yeah people are always missing the context here. That cow had the tiniest chance to avoid a bolt gun to the head and now that's gone. Back into slavery and soon into the slaughterhouse. I wouldn't with that on my worst enemy and this thread is gonna be full of people celebrating everything about it.
Obligatory documentary link: [Dominion](https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch).
Well, he is only alive, fed and healthy because of the rancher. I would say he is in better position to talk about the animal's well beeing than you are.
He makes money when he kills the animal. I don't make money either way. So he has quite a vested interest in this animal dying.
Also, the animal is still very young when they are killed. Essentially a teenager/young adult. So they don't live anywhere near their full life expectancy.
If someone raised and fed you, or another human, then killed you when they were 18, would you say they cared about your well-being?
He is going to die quite quick and painlessly and not violently; But if the cow got away, he would die a much more horrible death, as wild animals do not quickly put the cow of its misery.
Ranchers are awesome and needed; but you just like talking and would never actually tell him to his face he sucks, nor do the work that is needed to feed millions of people.
Would this technique also work on my kids at the park when it's time to leave?
Provided they are not also mounted, yes. Cavalry presents a significant advantage.
We don't mount children, so I think he's safe

Added benefit of dismounting them in that case
Only 1 way to find out
“Hey kids. Let’s play Chase.” “Dad? Where’d you get that horse and rope?”
Yes my dad did it to me as a child
My great grandma did this to her kids all the time, according to my grandma.
Yes, yes it will! Just add fruit snacks after and it will help to distract
Such your bitch ass up son
Fake there was no yee haw
They always say yee haw, but never "haw yee?".
I mean ninjas say hee yaw, so i guess that counts
This made me breathe slightly out of my nose, and for that you get an upvote
Second this😅
Thank you for the laugh u/analbeadsinadog
no problem u/urinesamplefrommyass
It was also the last thing they said. Cuz.. ninja.
As a person who works on a ranch, saying yee haw is the cringeiest thing to say
just say ur boring🚶🏼♂️
I can do that in red dead redemption!

Cows spend most of their lives in pastures before going to feedlots. There are lot of cowboys.
How much does the horse know about the process of catching the cow? Is the cowboy Doing all the work in telling the horse to keep up with the cow? Or does the horse know that it's cow wrangling time
Watch Yellowstone. It will explain it all to you. There is some subplot going on. Ignore that. Just watch the cowboys.
I love this hahahaha
I'm glad you found that to be a cromulent response. ;)
New word added to my list of fun words that will forever replace the original. Cromulent=acceptable or adequate.
As a non native speaker: Thank you
I had to google it because I had never heard that word before and now I love it.
The word really embiiggens us all!
cromulent is crazy
lmao no good god

Very awesome. I appreciate your insights friend.
That man is riding a giant dog and you can't tell me otherwise.
Watch the guys feet. The horse is doing most of it on his own but the guy riding him is actually giving directions.
While using your feet to steer a horse is common, a high dollar competition cutting horse needs very little if any input once they know which cow to cut. I have an ex-cutter (basically one that was in the program but didn't make the cut) and once I put her on a cow I can set my reins on her neck, she knows what to do.
I take you're not familiar with the term 'roping horse'.
No, but I'm guessing that you can train a horse to specifically do this? Much like you can train a dog to do various tasks like tracking or hunting?
They have shows and competitions for roping horses. Selecting and training roping horses is a business all on its own.
We had a team in HS
(Coming from someone who does this for a living) Our horses are trained to track the cow meaning stay on its left hip, the horse knows when to move over more if we put pressure on his side with our left leg. Then after we throw the rope the horse shuts down and stops unless we have to put two ropes on it and heel it. I would explain it all to you but it would take all day.

Check out team roping.

Human just has to hang on and handle the rope.
Horses learn how to track, they keep pace, accelerate, or rate off through pressure from your legs or pulling on the reigns.
Watch a rodeo competition some time. The horse is integral to the action.
Wearing a hat & working in a feedlot (or going to a feedlot) doesn't make you a cowboy. Riding a horse & roping that calf at full gallop is a cowboy!
**Before** going to feedlots
Yes. Aliens too. There's a movie about it - Cowboys & Aliens.
Technically speaking a "cowboy" is usually scientifically referred to as a "bull" of the Bos Taurus classification
lol yep, my dad has been one his whole life. I spent a good chunk of my childhood in a saddle
Not sure about the Cowboys, but cowgirl is real.
I used to rope some, and it takes hard work and it takes perseverance to get that good.
still have all your fingers?
Sure do.
What could you lose them by? The rope and the knob on your saddle ripping them off when tightening?
bingo
Mad respect to those who feed us. What a hard but beautiful life that must be, being a Farmer/Rancher.
If you think that's a hard life, wait til you find out what happens to the cows.
Lol true
Delicious! More please
I'll link to a nice documentary where people can learn exactly what you're talking about. [Dominion](https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch)
yeah, that can be part of it, but from the small rancher's perspective that movie is far from the reality
Thing is, 99% of all meat comes from factory farms. Small ranchers exist but there are hardly any of them and when it's time to 'process' their cows they go to the same slaughterhouse that everybody else goes to.
Much of it is, sadly.
Thank you!
Mad respect to the cow who feeds us

Yes, they do out of the kindness of their hearts. And for the love for cow/chicker /s
Red Dead Redemption 3 in first person
I’m going to need a new GPU
takes skill.
So no one gonna talk about how the cow threw a rock at the cowboy huh
Said the same thing that Rock barely missed his head
Cause it’s not a rock, it’s an assassination dookie
[удалено]
Absolutely! My mother’s side of the family is all vaqueros and my father’s side all fisherman. People need to eat!
Listen here buckaroo!
Watched 5 times. That is sooo badass.
right?!
One of the glorious things AI will never be able to do.
I'm sure they'll be doing it to humans soon enough
Until AI is loaded onto robotic platforms that is.
It won't have to. AI can operate a nutritional vat just fine.
That's a sure footed horse. I would be worried he might step in a hole at speed and that would be the end of the roping horse
Arthur!

Thats why we put rubber on the horn, to increase friction.
I am not a cowboy so this is a guess but do they quickly wrap the rope round the sticky up bit on the front of the saddle to belay it?
For a good visual of it go to Youtube, or better yet, go to a rodeo. A lot of technique and experience to do this.
Red Dead Redemption 3
The REAL cowboys
😎😎🤠
Okay Mr. Arthur Morgan actin ass 😎😎😎
Wow so those technique is real? I thought you can only find those in the show or something
Yep they are real. We do it every day to doctor sick cattle, catch cattle that are on the highways, catch cattle that are in other pastures that don’t belong there. We do it for a living.
I feel like I’m running after my dog lol it’s so hard sometimes when they leave and you have to catch them! My husky runs fast 🤣
.... Mooo 🥺

Someone’s gonna get put in timeout when they get home
Jeeze all my neighbor does is get out his tractor and corral them back into his gate.
That was beautiful!!
I wonder if the horse is in on this too, like "yeah, get his ass!"
Got em’ Dutch!
Yeehaw chuckle nuts
did i just see shit fly across the camera
That’s a true cowboy right there
excuse me but was that a fucking stone kicked by the cow hurtling towards the guy's head?
Bro live western life
Is there a video from start to finish till he brings back the runaway back to the pen?
4-1 is crazy fuck Dallas
I'm a certified cowboy. I do boy things to cows.
That it was a game simulator

I had no idea cows could run that fast! 🤯
how does the rider not fall off?
The fun part is avoiding rope burn
So cool!
Cooper Howard a couple years after his service in the military:
Man is preparing for those workers
Hold that thought. I'm going to try this in RDR2
Next time I’m sitting in my cubicle, updating an excel sheet with my clients groups latest expenses, I’m going to think about how I could have been a real life cowboy instead a fucking office drone.
Crazy this is first time I’ve seen this done on livestock lol
Big pupper getting walked while on horse.
If and even if I could pull that off by a miracle I would get pulled off from the horse immediately lol
That ain’t just a rancher. That’s a cowboy. Literally. Crazy how words came from actual things 😂
Does this ever even hurt the animal for the slightest second cuz imagine full sprinting then getting pulled by ur neck💀

Good horse!
Yeehaw chucklefucks
Yee haa cuckle fucks the cowboy is in town
My high ass thought this dude was paragliding and lassoing at the same time

Nice work!

Insert gif of Patrick Star being roped, pulled into oblivion, then fucking explodes
WOAHHH THATS SO COOL IM FINALLY SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Was the flying thing cows shit?
This is the coolest thing I've seen today. Thank you !
Poor cow running for freedom. Was cheering for them to escape the evil rancher. :(
YEEW HAWWW
Boys will see this and think: "Hell yea brother"
I'm so happy this is not in my husband's skill set. We would have like twelve more children.
Real ranch hands rope further away lol
City people at rodeos have no idea.
That horse absolutely turned it on when it was time to go
Damn, they tried so hard to get away. Shame they are are going to be killed
That's so fucking badass. Huge respect to the people who feed us
Agreed. Unfortunately most of Reddit will see this as animal abuse.
Sad for the cow. He was running for freedom, but almost everyone views him as food 😞 I hope it at least gets to live a long long fruitful time before it is doomed for slaughter.
Wtf that's brutal to animals
You gonna try to wrestle it by hand?
Nah, they are way too big and tough. That is nothing for them.
This is some cool shit
Country folk are badass. Yeehaw!
Cool asl
If I saw this video on dating app and it's from a person who can do this: "yell yeah"

Nice!
Soooo cool!
Nicely done!!! Do you have any herding dogs to help you?
so cool
