Before the development of roping, the original tool of the early cowherds (vaqueros) of the Americas was the <i>desjarretadera</i>, a lance with a crescent moon shaped blade at one of its ends used to incapacitate cattle by cutting their hocks or hamstrings. Known in English as a “hocking knife”, “desjarretadera” comes from the Spanish prefix “des-“ meaning “to remove”, and “jarrete” meaning “hock” (dehocker); it was also known as a ”lanza de media luna” (crescent-moon blade lance) or simply "luna" (moon). </p><p>A vaquero on horseback, carrying the desjarretadera, would gallop at full speed behind a wild bull and, potitioning himself slightly to one side, would hit the back, the hock, of one of its legs, slicing through the flesh and cutting the nerves, thus, incapacitating the bull. The vaquero would then dismount and finish the bull off by stabbing it at the base of its neck, and would then skin it and remove the tallow, leaving the rest to rot.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This activity was done in the early stages of cattle ranching in the Americas when the only thing valuable were the hides and tallow. The desjarretadera would later on be used as a weapon used primarily by militias. </p><p> The oldest mention of anything close to “roping from horseback” in the Americas was not about cattle but about wild horses. In Friar <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_de_Oca%C3%B1a" class="extiw" title="es:Diego de Ocaña"> Diego de Ocaña’s</a> travels through the province of Paraguay in 1601, he wrote about the great quantities of wild horses that inhabited the area and how the natives would capture them on horseback, bareback, by a rudimentary roping method utilizing a rope of which one end was tied behind the horse’s <i>brazuelos</i> (the forearm or gaskin) while the other end was made into a noose fastened to a pole, Ocaña writes: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>“[…]he carries in his hand the end of the rope made into a lasso tied around a long pole, and when he reaches the colt, he places the rope over its head and when the horse chasing the colt feels when the other one is captured, stops and holds with his legs and pulls back as if it were a person”.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p> Neither Ocaña nor other writers before or after him ever mentioned this method being used to rope cattle in that region.

As the bull was let out, the Black horsemen approached it and one placed the noose around the bull’s horns. He goes on to say that even though they sometimes failed at “roping” the bull they kept trying until they succeeded. Salcedo says that this peculiar feat caused great sensation among the people and the Royal Court indicating it was completely unknown in Spain,<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and continues on to say: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712" /><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>“After having placed the lasso on the horns, the horseman releases the rope held in his left hand, and they stand on one side of the ring or field, where it is being done, with the bull held by the horns and the tail of the horse.

And the one who is on horseback, going around the bull, entangles the bull’s hind and forelegs so that pulling the rope, and tightening the turns, knocks it down.”<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The precise origin of these two Black slaves who performed this extraordinary feat is unknown as Salcedo never went into detail just stating they were from the Americas (the Indies).

He asserts that certain ranching laws enacted by the Mexican Mesta, the government association regulating ranching, targeted Black, <a href="/wiki/Mulatto" title="Mulatto">Mulatto</a> Indian and <a href="/wiki/Mestizo" title="Mestizo">Mestizo</a> vaqueros disproportionately with harsher punishments for violating them, including corporal punishment. Due to the indiscriminate killing of female cattle and, as a result, the subsequent decline of the herds, the great set of laws passed by the Mesta in January 1574 included a law that ordered that no Blacks, Mulattos, Mestizos or Indians who are or had been employed as vaqueros were allowed to own or keep desjarretaderas and garrochas (lances), under penalty of 20 gold pesos,<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a 10 month salary or more for the average vaquero. For those that were unable to pay, the punishment was at least 100 lashes in public. Black and mulatto slaves fared worst since they received no salary, so the automatic punishment was lashing. According to Sluyter, black and mulatto vaqueros developed roping from horseback as an alternative way for capturing cattle, circumventing the law.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Sluyter also argues that the invention of the saddle-horn also points to Mexico as the origin of roping from horseback. According to him, the saddle with a horn for roping was the invention of these Black and Mulatto vaqueros, whose African elite ancestors knew about horns on saddles, not for roping or even herding cattle, but for hanging bags. The West African saddles, says Sluyter, look strikingly similar to the saddles developed in Mexico. The fact that there is no evidence whatsoever of the existence of horned saddles in Spain nor in any other European country, points to an African-Mexican origin.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another possible clue is that many Mexican herdsmen in the 18th century would fastened their lasso on their horses' tails, as those Black horsemen in Madrid did, a method that would continue into the 19th century in Veracruz by the <a href="/wiki/Jarochos" class="mw-redirect" title="Jarochos">Jarochos</a>, the vaqueros of that region, who were mostly of Black descent.

The cumbersome pole once used was discarded, they were now roping more dexterously by throwing the lasso. Nonetheless, it was still very rudimentary as the herdsmen were roping in conjunction with garrochas (lances) and desjarretaderas which were still being used to drive and incapacitate cattle, respectively. One vaquero would lasso and hold a bull while another one with a desjarretadera would perform the necessary tasks. Jesuit priest Rafael Landivar vividly described in epic verse how bull hunts were performed in the Province of Mexico in 1782, stating that vaqueros would armed themselves with different weapons, some with garrochas, others with desjarretaderas and most with lassos fastened to their horses’ tails.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Also, a great deal of the roping was done on foot, including in Mexico where most of the well known roping techniques, like team roping hadn’t been invented yet. If a bull had to be captured and laid down, one vaquero had to first rope it, either by the horns or head, while another one, on foot, had to grab its tail and pull it down. Ignaz Pfefferkorn, a Jesuit missionary who visited <a href="/wiki/Sonora" title="Sonora">Sonora</a> in the 1760’s explained how the capturing and slaughtering of cattle was done at the time with roping, garrochas and tailing: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712" /><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>”As soon as they are locked in [the cattle], the mounted cowherds enter. Each carries in his hand a noosed rope, which he throws around one of the animal’s horns. The other end of the rope he quickly winds three or four times around the saddle horn and gallops away. The noose is tightened by the pull of the running horse, and the animal is caught. All this is done with astonishing dexterity and almost in an instant. The roped animal may follow along blindly, though sometimes it is obstinate and will not move from the spot. In this case another cowherd comes up with the garrocha, pokes the stubborn animal in the ribs, and forces it to run. […] Then, when the animal has been brought to the slaughtering place, the rider, with the aid of the horse, pulls the rope with all his might. At the same time a man on foot seizes the tail of the animal, with one or more swings throws the animal to earth, falls instantly upon it, binds its legs together, and cuts its throat.”<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg/250px-Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg/330px-Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg/500px-Modo_de_cazar_de_los_Indios_Mocov%C3%ADes.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1260" data-file-height="911" /></a><figcaption>Mocoví indians roping cattle.
