牛仔趕攏牛群的工作

牛仔使用各種不同的技巧來驅趕及記錄牛隻。為了將牛隻驅離濃密的灌木叢區，牛仔也許必須站在牛隻的身旁，並用力敲擊錫罐或搖動裝滿石頭的罐子來發出噪音。牛仔必須要小心、謹慎的進行這項工作，因為噪音可能會嚇到牛隻，導致牛隻亂竄。

牛仔驅趕牛隻的另一個方法是從山坡上騎馬向下奔馳，順勢驅趕他們身邊的牛隻。這個錄音剪輯會向您解釋「帶鈴母馬」的傳統角色 –繫有鈴鐺，負責集合其他馬匹的馬。

Buckaroos use a lot of different techniques to move and keep track of cows. To drive cattle from a thicket of dense brush, buckaroos may stand alongside them making noise--banging on a tin can or shaking a can full of stones. Buckaroos need to be careful when doing this, because it may frighten the cows and cause a stampede.

Another way buckaroos move cattle is to ride down a hill, moving the cows along with them. This audio clip explains the traditional role of the "bell mare," a horse that wears a bell to keep the other horses together.
