that stuff is rare as hen's teeth around here,  I've been using a different type of cord used for the same thing if I have to hobble one.  Thankfully I don't tie many hogs.

I've got miles and miles of it, you ever need any just hollar.  I would also add that you get some that has been used and respooled because the new stuff stretches a BUNCH when you tie the hog.

Check out the Snap Hobbles from Ugly Dog Ranch, I just got a pair of them and they sure are handy.
Here is a link to them: http://www.uglydogranch.org/udrshop/product_info.php?products_id=141

Here's one I've been making for a while, this contraption works as fast as I've seen.  A dog, and one of these snapped on my belt and I'm good to go. Wink  Just a "grouper fisherman's knot", basically a cinch knot locked down with a little epoxy.... snug enough to keep tight, but won't lock down to where you can't easily slip it off.  Works on all sizes but the little pigs can still stand up if you don't clip 'em off to a bush.   Redneck engineering at it's finest  Grin

Matt, I live in Southwest Louisiana; would you be willing to mail some mule tape to me, if I pay the postage? If this is possible, my cell number is 337 912 3953, call and we'll work it all out. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it, and thanks anyway. PS: I go to bed early.
