牛仔趕攏牛群的工作

隨著時間的過去,牛仔生活也跟以前大不相同,但工作重心仍是照顧牛隻。藉由觀看及模仿老牛仔的工作情況,牛仔們學會如何在牛群裡工作。基本的牛仔技巧包括騎馬、正確使用繩索、在夏季時打捆乾草及修補柵欄。牛仔的主要任務之一就是趕攏牛群,即找到牧地上的牛隻並將它們趕回牧場。猜猜看,牛仔使用何種技術來趕攏牛群呢?

The basic buckaroo skills include riding, using a rope correctly, baling hay during the summer, and mending fences. One of the main tasks of the buckaroo is the roundup--locating the cattle on the range and driving them back to the ranch. What sorts of techniques do you think the buckaroos use to roundup the cattle?
