[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 57358, member: 144"] Well, I thought the correct name was always tie down calf roping. I can remember hearing the term more than 40 years ago. Not a lot, mind you - just occasionally by someone to distinguish it from the say, less advanced events, of ribbon roping and breakaway roping (usually held only at the junior and 4H shows). Since all the calf roping at the "adult" rodeos was the tie down variety, people just shortened it to "calf roping" and everyone knew what was meant. If you wanted to talk about any thing else - ribbon roping, breakaway roping, goat roping, team roping or steer roping (jerking), well you had to get specific. But, what do I know? Talk about politically correct, anyone ever see a televised steer roping? They show the the guy making the catch and laying the trip, then they cut away to the horse and rider turning off. Next time you see the steer he's already been busted and is being sledded along the arena floor real nice and quiet for the roper to tie. Actually, I'm surprised they even showed that much, and it sure wasn't on a major network! [/QUOTE]
