You rope the calf by clicking when the lariat is pointing toward the calf. Once you have it roped, SLOWLY and carefully lead the calf back to the corral. If you move too quickly or across an obstacle, the calf may not move, and may even slip out of the rope. For some of the time you are leading it, it will try to pull back, i.e. resist going where you want it to go.
to find the calf on the poptroica's island Wild West Island you leave the town and look for hoof prints and follow them until you see the calf and then you need to click on the calf so the rope will get it then look on the mini map and take the calf back to the ranch! then go back to town and the lady will give you a used saddle !{which you can trade for a oil can or a gold mining pan}
you have to get the cowgirls calf's first and then she'll give it to you
There are no gates on Wild West island, not as part of the quest. When you return the calf or the steers to the corral for the girl rancher, they stay there. For any other use of items on the island, see the related question below.
There is no shovel on Wild west island. If you win the gold claim at the casino, and then recover the calf in Rock Ridge, you can swap the reward saddle for a gold pan and pan for gold at the claim.
You return the calf, and the 5 cattle if you do them, to the corral left of Rock Ridge.
Go onto the map and go to your left and there should be tracks, follow the tracks and you will find the calf. after you have it lassoed then you should bring it into the coral.
