I remember learning years ago that cowboys in Argentina use bola's , a rope with about 3 stones that they throw to ensnare the legs of cattle that they want to catch. Do they still do that? or use different methods. Gaucho's are still there aren't they. We still have the old fashioned cowboys in the U.S. but they are very very small in number now.

Thank you conservative Bush/McCain Republicans for global warming, the use of food (corn ethanol) in the gas tanks of SUV's causing famine all over the world. resulting in slow death for all life on earth. Thank you for urban sprawl, the non-stop building of new homes that no one wants, and the destruction of all farmland to build the new homes with illegal labor from south of the border that you won't protect. Thank you for trying to destroy Social Security and medical care for all Americans, great bunch of guys, oh did I mention the non stop wars to support conservative republican arms and ammunition manufactures?

That rope with 3 balls (really hard balls, but not stones) are called "boleadoras".

And yeah, Gauchos keep living here. But I suposse it's like in your country, not so much in numbers as in the past.

Cya!
