Because it's rate of maturity and growth is much faster than a human's, even though cattle are 10x larger than humans. But it's also to do with the fact that they're prey animals, and the faster they grow, the less time frame they have for predators to get at them. Growth rate of a calf also has to do with his mother's milk quality and the type of feed or forage him and his mother are given to help him grow.

How do you rope a calf?

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.

How does flesh of a calf change as it gets older?

Muscle fibers in a calf grow in size and lengthen as the bones grow and develop. What a calf eats also determines the fleshing ability of a calf; a calf that is fed good quality milk and good forage is one that is more fatter, or has internal fat in with the muscle tissue as well as some external adipose tissue. Such a calf also tends to grow bigger than one that has been fed low quality forage and hasn't had much or very good quality milk. Such a calf tends to be thinner, leaner, and more ranky than a "soggy" calf.

How do you know if a calf is getting enough to eat?

A hungry calf is a healthy calf. Don't feed a calf too much other wise it will scour. Otherwise, you know a calf is getting enough if you are knowingly keeping on top of regular feedings and watching it grow day by day. A healthy calf is a calf that's not lethargic, sickly-looking and interested in eating.


Is the calf sedated for calf roping?

I have never heard of such, the object is to chase the calf. As quickly as possible, stop the calf, then rope three holves together. Sedating the calf would be cheating both the rider and the judging. Drugging any animal for performance purposes during a competition is wrong and wouldn't be allowed, if known about.
