Having competed in the sport of Tie Down Roping and enjoyed training calf horses, I set out on a quest to build a calf roping machine that would mimic the action of a live calf , by where you place and hold your slack after the calf is roped. The Perfect Calf allows you to do just that.
Ability to bring cattle control to the arena…
Perfect Calf allows you to always have the calf you need to accomplish your goals for each and every practice session. Whether it is the roper, or the horse, there always seem to come a point where you know you could get to that next step, if you could just slow the run down, or maybe have a faster calf, or have that calf run to that same spot, now you can with Perfect Calf.
Placing your horse in the correct position every time
will help your horse learn to run to that spot.
Roping the calf around the neck and pulling
catch, an important step in switching.
your slack sharp makes for a clean neck
Learning to place you slack on either side of the calf's neck causes
the hondo to be placed on that side of the neck above
the point of the shoulder. This gives you
an advantage and leverage.
Letting rope slide through your hand until you are out
in your stirrup will help you keep your balance.
Taking hold of the rope when you're in
the correct position starts the calf around.
Block and reach across the calf's back.
Lift on the head and flank.
Gather low and tie.
