stockwhip
Australian herding tool
A stockwhip is a long whip used for herding livestock, especially cattle and horses, primarily in Australia.
It has a short handle and a very long braided leather thong, typically 6 to 10 feet, ending in a cracker that produces a loud snap.
The crack drives animals without contact: He cracked the stockwhip to move the mob along.
