	Calf roping apparatus - Patent 6763650
		A calf rope 40 is shown attached to the horn of the saddle.
		The fifth component of the calf roping apparatus is a means for attaching the second end of the elastic cord to a calf rope and the sixth component is a means for attaching the cord-calf rope attachment to a bit.
		The calf roping apparatus of this invention is optionally connected to a means for "setting" the calf roping apparatus, i.e., for pulling the first end of the calf roping apparatus rope all the way out from the pulley to fully stretch the elastic cord.

	Basic Calf Roping FAQ
		As soon as the rope is on the calf, the horse comes to a sudden stop, the rider dismounts while holding on to the rope and runs to the calf.

		The barrier rope is released by a measured length of twine which is pulled loose from the calf or steer as it crosses the scoreline.

	DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS
		Like the calf roping, the contestant and horse start from behind a "barrier", which is a piece of equipment designed to give the calf a head start and to ensure that all contestants begin their competition run at the exact same point.
		The rope is tied to the saddle with a piece of string and when the horse stops, the calf continues to run and the string breaks.
		Unlike the calf roping, in the breakaway roping, the rider never dismounts from the horse and does not have to "tie" the calf.

		He also led for the all-around, and the $20,952 he earned in calf roping, a sum that included yet another NFR average victory, gave him his first all-around championship and set the new money record.

		Calf roping was something that was more a part of everyday ranch life and something hands of all ages could appreciate, as they would have done of for years.
		Because calf roping is a timed event and features livestock running at full speed, plenty of the action can be missed, simply because the eye can't keep up with the motion.
		The rope is tied to the horn with a short length of string, which breaks when the rope goes tight.

		Team roping requires the physicality of being top-notch horsemen and the timed coordination of the header roping a steer's horns followed by the heeler using a low throw to gather the hind legs.
		In calf roping, timing and coordination skills also are needed, but so is the muscle to grab a 200-pound calf and drop it to the turf before tying its legs in a hand-spinning blur.
		Calf roping might seem a long way from dribbling, passing and shooting a basketball, but there is commonality in one respect.

		Roy gives advice freely to aspiring ropers—he loves calf roping, in particular, and wants to have a hand in perpetuating the popularity of the event.
		His right hand—his roping hand—was nearly severed when his wrist became entangled in the rope during a practice run.
		But Roy's perseverance and ambition showed even more clearly when he managed to recover well enough to compete at the National Finals—where he roped with his wrist still stiff, still coupled with surgical pins, and won the NFR average, setting a new record on ten calves of 107.9 seconds.

	The Definitive Watcher's Guide To Rodeo - Calf Roping
		A typical run sees handlers load a calf into a gated chute as the roper backs his horse into an open area beside the chute and readies his loop while a thin rope is stretched across the front to act as a barrier.
		With the roar of the crowd in his ears, he runs down the line to the dazed calf, lifts and throws it to the ground, then uses the pigging string with 3 quick turns and a half hitch (hooey) to tie the legs and throws his hands into the air.
		The roping horse must adjust its speed to the calf, stop as soon as the calf is caught, which helps the cowboy in his moving dismount, and back up to keep the rope taut while the roper throws and ties the calf.
