Timing is critical. A little off and all your left with is a handful of hair and a mouthful of dirt. Both of which happened more frequently than the cowboys would like to admit.
The calf just wants to get to his mom at the other end of the corral.
This little fellow actually ran right through the loop of the lasso.
The ladies got to rope the calf and then let the rope go when the loop was around the calfs neck.
The men on the other hand got to jump off their horse and chase the calf, pick it up and throw it to the ground and tie up its legs. The experts around us kept telling us that it doesn't hurt the animals. I wonder if anybody asked the calves.
The horse knew what its job was. Kept that line nice and taught.
Next up is the big beef.
