To rope a calf, start by riding a horse and positioning yourself so that you're parallel to the calf. As you approach, swing the lasso in a circular motion to build momentum. Aim for the calf's neck, releasing the loop when you're close enough to catch it. Once the rope is around the calf, quickly pull it taut to secure it, allowing for safe handling.
