Ropes with nooses
Lassos is the plural of lasso, the rope with a running noose used to catch horses and cattle.
Cowboys throw lassos to rope livestock.
The word also works as a verb—one lassos a steer by throwing the loop around its neck or legs.
The ranch hands practiced throwing lassos at fence posts.
