Whip maker Krist King
Krist King cowboyed throughout the West before the trail took him to Florida. “I was too poor to buy much of anything when I was cowboyin’, and I’d been makin’ a few things,” King says about making his own whips for working cattle. “Then I found out I could sell ’em. I’ve pretty much been makin’ whips ever since.”

Florida's "cracker cowhunters" make use of an essential tool of the trade.
Writing about how to herd cattle with a whip is like taking a guitar lesson through the mail—you don’t really get the picture until you do it for yourself.
However, Doyle Conner, a 6th-generation Floridian and rancher who grew up horseback with whip in hand, was willing to try and describe the action. Simply put, it’s a bit like casting a fly rod.
