Okay, tell the former city gal what a piggin string is please.
A "piggin" string is the length of rope used to tie the calf's legs after it's roped. The roper ties any 3 feet, then raises both hands in the air--timing.
Thanks Cathy.
I've been to rodeos before but have never heard this term before. I was going to google it but figured it wouldn't be mentioned so I asked.
You also carry them when you are working. You never know when a short length of rope or rawhide is going to be needed to tie something up, down, or out. In the old days it was used to tie down calves out on the range.....and the cowboy had mountain oysters for dinner............piggin strings were the original duct tape.

I wished somebody would do that to me! and whip and beat me till I write a bad check!
Used balin' twine can also double as a piggin' string. In the past five years, i've used 'em for:
Lead ropes
halters
fix fence
tie up gates with busted latches
MAKE fence (gonna have to get pics of this in the day time- it's here at the house!)
dog leads
tied the fancy-schmancy heated electronic mirror back on my Expedition when I forgot about the mirror's position whilst throwing a bale of hay off the top... in my defense, i'd only owned it a few months!
Ponytail holder
belt
That MAY be it for now.... let me get back to you on that....
