To be honest, i dont like calf roping. Hate it. Its cruel. Serves no purpose anymore. We've ranched for over 45 years and never ever roped a calf. I understand the skill it takes, but, look at it from the forced/orphaned calf's perspective. I get no pleasure seeing a young calf being yanked down by its neck while running. Then being choked down by that rope and someone coming over, smashing its body and more on its neck while being tied, then sometimes drug around before being let loose. Its sad, just sad......
You have a very different perception of ranch roping than I do. Like all ranch activities, properly done, it is not stressful and is very efficient.
You can watch all of their videos and you will never see a jerk down. https://members310ranchlife.com/
