A stiff rope called a lariat, a riata or reata. The stiff rope is designed so that the loop remains open when thrown so that it can catch cattle via head or feet. Most lariats today (particularly the California or Arena-styles) are made of stiff polyester or nylon rope, but others (including the much longer riatas) are still made from rawhide (mostly braided, but can also come twisted like many ropes are), Mexican maguey (or agave), or cotton. California-style lariats are range in size from 28 feet to 35 feet long, and the Mexican riatas range from 50 feet to over 100 feet long.
