30 balling up
Adams: 1944. Defined by Watts as the "bunching up" of cattle. This could occur at narrow passages in the terrain, at the entrance to a corral or pen, and when attempting to drive the cattle across a river or other body of water. It was often necessary to break a large herd into smaller groups to avoid this overcrowding. This term may be a calque derived from the Spanish term bola [bóla] 'ball' meaning a large, disorderly crowd. According to the DM, the term bola refers to "a noisy get-together of disorderly people; a fight or tumult," and the phrase hacerse bola means "to lose order or formation, said of a troop or a gathering."
