[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1376886, member: 17956"] Yeah, I don't won't to mislead ya. I'm not throwing ropes on the ground that have been used a few afternoons. When they lose their body and and start to lay funny we retire them, and use them on the farm. A calf rope for instance is about 28' long out of the box. Not a whole lot of room there roping calves in pasture to tag, vaccinate, band. Loading one in a trailer, it's really short. Even a heel rope is only 35'. A good usin rope is about 45' or even longer. All ropes are expensive, and ranch ropes are especially expensive. Then you get in to the 3 strand verses 4. I personally like a 3. Same diameter, but I think the 4 strands bounce. I hoped somebody on here knew a place to get a spool of 3 strand. Then I could cut to length, and attach a metal Honda. Or tie my own. The rope companies are wise in their ways though. It's as much by the foot, as it would be in a finished rope. [/QUOTE]
