"P" is predicament

After the hailstorm, Jack, Ennis, and the Chilean sheepherders find themselves in quite a  predicament:  they have to work together to separate a huge mass of milling sheep.

"R" is ranting

Jack soon realized that ranting at the Chilean sheep herders in English was useless so he proceeded to cut Aguirre's sheep out of the mix.

"S" is slipshod

The boys were worried Aguirre would notice the sheep were mixed up and criticize them for their slipshod handling of the flock.

In his frustration, Jack was dragging and throwing sheep in a most uncouth manner.

"U" is uncouthness

In his frustration, Jack was dragging and throwing sheep, and not worrying about the uncouthness of his actions.

"V" is vestigious

The vestigious remains of paint brands were not enough for Jack to go by when trying to separate the sheep.  Aguirre still knew that "some of these never went up there with you."

"W" is woolies'

The woolies' paint brands were all worn off, so Jack had to drag and throw them in two neat little piles.

"X" is xclamations

Jack punctuated his uncouth sheep throwing with xclamations such as "shit", "fuck," and of course: "goddamn."

"A" is aggravated

The problem of separating the mixed-up sheep is aggravated by the fact that some of the paint brands have worn away.
