2. some dispute there

the border Scots from the eastern US also came from a herding culture and had some rough stock techniques that also flow into rodeo.

I knew a little about Charro, but only recently (15 years) saw a Chihuahuan Jaripeo - took me a while to figure out what the ropers were doing. Fun chaos!

3. The Scotts are sheep herders

Tell me where the the major cattle tradition comes from.

And show me Scottish games involving cattle.

4. Even though

I don't like animals used in any kind of sport, that was a truly beautiful piece of film. Thank you for posting it, my friend.

A friend sent this to me today and, even though I don't understand the words, aside from the title, I thought it was beautiful, so I pass it on to you.
