The average calf circumference for women typically ranges from about 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 cm), depending on factors such as genetics, body composition, and fitness levels. However, individual measurements can vary widely. It’s important to note that these averages can differ based on geographic and ethnic variations.

Why is our lower leg called a calf and a baby cow called a calf?

In English, many words have double meanings. Historically, "calf" was documented as referring to the back of the lower leg around the years 1350 and 1425. It comes from the old Norse word "Kalfi." Calf is also used to refer to muscles in the lower leg. Calf was used to refer to the young of cows and some other mammals before the year 900. It comes from W. Gmc "kalam." So, though they come from different countries at different times, the words both were translated into "calf" in the English language.


Why is the leg calf called that?

This is a guess. This is not scientific nor verifiable but I BELIEVE it has to do with the gastrocnemius muscles being so well developed on farmers and ranchers and cowboys and cowgirls and others who spend their lives riding horses. Maybe "calf" was cuter than "cowboy legs" which would sound more like bow legs. There is a country song, " With calves like that, you must be a cowgirl"


What if you see a leg hanging out the birth canal of a cow?

Then that calf (and the cow) is in a lot of trouble, and you need to assist that cow right away. The calf needs to be pushed back in in order to get the other leg into the birth canal. The head is probably turned back as well (if the calf is coming front-first), and also needs to be straightened out before you pull out the calf. Of course, pushing a calf back into the uterus is easier said than done!
