I have had 2 experiences with a 30 m Buunings rope
1 A heifer (500 Kg ) somehow ended up in my Manure dam ( where she was stuck in the heavily soupy mess , the surface wasn't strong enough to support my weight to get to her and put a chain around her neck , only thing nearby was this Bunnings rope , lassoed her around the neck with a slip knot , hitched to the tractor and took off slowly rope stretched heaps, and started pulling her towards the edge of the shit when the rope snapped in the middle not on any of the knots , fortunately the noose loosened enough to stop her choking and pulled close enough to edge to get the chain on her , got her out but it took 5 days of watering and feeding before she stood up and walked away . So Bunnings rope helped save a $2000 heifer , that has since calved and had a heifer calf worth $500 .
2 Had a crazy cow which put in a stock trailer with a sheet of steel mesh over the top to stop her jumping out . Mesh was tied down by the remnants of the above rope and held until deliver to the abattoirs 50 kms away , the cow fought the whole way and the mesh was bent in many places but the rope held .
Since bought a length of good rope for these sort of situations
