[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 228087, member: 3162"] Congratulations. Sounds like you are off to a good start. You'll pick up some spanish. Bear in mind that a WHOLE LOT of our cattle terminology evolved from the Mexicans. Words like lariat, corral, etc. Once someone sent me a list and I can't find it at the moment, but there were about 50 common terms we use and they were all spanish from Mexican cattlemen. Hence, you probably already know some terminology and don't realize that it is Spanish. I was amazed that we had borrowed so much of their terminology. There were no English words for some of these things, like simple tools they had created. Maybe someone else has seen that list and can post it. Keep up the good work. Lots of us learned to work cattle by working for others, or working for our parents/grandparents. Keep us posted. I am enjoying this thread you created. [/QUOTE]
