I do spurs, I make spurs. This is a pair I made of show spurs here, from scratch, and I do work spurs also, like the ones Joe has. They're --
[00:07:36]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Can you lift that up, your spur?
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Joe's spurs here are what's called a working spur, it's rugged, it's tough, it'll stand up to everyday use.
[00:07:46]
This is more for a rodeo, where it's just for show, mostly.
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Can anybody in the front row maybe identify what's on Joe's spur?
[00:07:56]
Can anybody take a good look at that? It's a leg. It's a woman's extended leg that's holding the little wheel on his spur.
[00:08:05]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
That's a gal leg spur.
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}

[00:08:25]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Oh, you can have -- They can have a person's particular brand, the brand that he has for his cattle and his horses,
[00:08:39]
they can have initials, their name, and just any design that they desire.
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Okay.
[00:08:48]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
I have another pair that's made (?) that's called a J-spur, originally done in South Texas,
[00:08:54]
and it's a J (?) that standed out and it was used to use --
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Uh, excuse me -- um, I need more volume on your -- on this mic.
[00:09:06]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
It was used to -- it has a J in place of the leg, and they used to use it to open longneck bottles, that's what everybody jokes around.
[00:09:15]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
This one, this one. More volume, please. More volume.
[00:09:19]
¿Hay unas preguntas? Does anyone from the audience have any questions you'd like to ask these gentlemen about some of the ranching techniques that --
[00:09:26]

[00:09:46]
Another thing that Balto has brought with him is a fuste, and -- nos puedes explicar lo que es un fuste, por favor -- Can you tell us what a fuste is, Balto?
