Other Details:
Many years before the advent of nylon, California’s vaqueros used other forms of rope to handle livestock. Some of these ropes were made from horsehair or grass. Others were braided from rawhide. These were called riatas. A common riata used for ranch work was braided from 4 or 6 strands {or plaits} of rawhide taken from a single hide. The averaged from 60 to 100 feet in length and held up better in rough conditions than other ropes of the times.
