Roundup gear is essential for herding livestock, and it typically includes lariats, LASSOS, ropes, and LASSO. A LARIAT is a long ROPE with a loop at one end, used for catching horses or cattle. A LASSO is a loop of ROPE that is thrown around a target and tightened when pulled. Ropes are long, thick cords made of fibers such as hemp, jute, or nylon. Lastly, a ROPE is a length of fibers twisted together to form a thicker cord. All of these items are necessary for a successful roundup.
